CD Reviews
Comeback Single of the Year
C. Nika | New Jersey United States | 03/30/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"After surprising and in many cases, disappointing fans with the pop-lite beautifulgarbage, Garbage return with a vengeance with the blistering top 10 hit "Why Do You Love Me". This song features a pounding, instantly memorable guitar riff and a Blondie meets Killers type chorus. As the first single off of the long-anticipated Bleed Like Me (April 12), Garbage seems set to make a Green Day-like comeback in 2005.
Included are the fantastic b-sides "Space Can Come Through Anyone" and "Nobody Can Win", the exciting Ramones cover "I Just Wanna Have Something To Do", and the brilliant video for "Why Do You Love Me".
DO NOT pass this gem up.

COMEBACK!!!

"Garbage finally came back with a new sound and an awesome song. "Why Do You Love Me" is by far one of Garbage's best works. The long and highly anticipated album (Bleed Like Me: April 12, 2005) is sure to be one of the best albums of the year. The tracks, "Space Can Come Through Anyone", "Nobody Can Win", and "I Just Wanna Have Something To Do" are excellent tracks and can only be found on the "Why Do You Love Me" single. Don't miss your chance. BUY IT; YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!!"
Awesome single

"Despite what others think of the new single, I still say the pounding guitars and the live sound is just awesome. Some Garbage fans seek to have singles to be a carbon copy of Version 2.0, but this really was a good investment in my opinion. The B-sides are like the icing to the cake, 2 awesome b-sides that could of very well been on the album, and a awesome rendition of the Ramones song "I Just Wanna Have Something To Do". Definetly worth the money and more!"
Love for the Trash

"Well if you're a super Garbage fan of you just enjoy the spunky-er tunes that come from this band, than this is simply a must. The first song "Why Do You Love Me" comes from the album "Bleed Like Me" which I could not live without. The rest of the four song of the single are all non-released. "Space Can Come Through Anyone" is an awesome song, it's just so weird. "Nobody Can Win" is a slower song I think it sounds kind of like "Drive You Home" from "Beautiful Garbage". The last song, "I Just Wanna Have Something To Do" is Garbage's version of The Ramones, I like both versions. Plus the "Why Do You Love Me" vedio is on the single, and awesome!"
B-SIDES!

"ok, you've all most likely heard Why Do You Love Me. PErsonally, I don't think it's fantastic, just ok.
BUT let's get down to the b-sides. "Space Can Come Through Anyone" is a great uptempo song and "Nobody Can Win" is a beautiful acoustic ballad, both of these could have been on the album replacing the less stellar "Why Don't You Come Over" and "Boys Wanna Fight". "I Just Wanna Have Something" to do is a great cover song that was originally released about 2 years ago on a compialtion."
