1995Garbage -- the debut albumGarbage's self-titled debut album is released on 15 August 1995. Its sound is immediately distinctive: layered to the point of density, combining drum loops and samples with live drums, distorted guitars, keyboards and Manson's voice -- which delivers lyrics about desire, obsession and self-destruction with cool detachment. 'Stupid Girl,' 'Only Happy When It Rains,' 'Queer' and 'Vow' are its singles. The album sells over four million copies worldwide and reaches Number 6 in the UK. The production technique -- building tracks from hundreds of layered elements -- reflects Vig's studio mastery and points toward the digital production methods that will define 2000s rock.
