Every '90s alt-rock crew has evidently determined that 2007 would be a super time to reform and cash in, so why not Garbage? We'll tell you why not: They never actually called it quits. After fourth album Bleed Like Me did comparably meh business to predecessors Version 2.0 and beautifulgarbage, the supergroup went into hibernation.

The first self-titled album alone gave us "Vow," "Queer," "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains." All of which'"if you've never purchased a Curve album in your life, and going off their record sales, we're guessing you haven't'"are wonderfully sexy, unique forays in to electropop. Shirley Manson knew detached. Girl owned it. Hope she still does on the new offering "Tell Me Where It Hurts."
