I Think I'm Paranoid Pt. 1 by Garbage was my first import and I am glad I got it! The title track is definitely the best song released from Version 2.0, I can listen to this song all day, and it's been 10 years since the album was released. This import contains two bonus tracks, Deadwood and Afterglow, great songs as well. I highly recommend this faboulous addition. Enjoy!

All those other reviwers aren't lying, Deadwood is simply the best! It's still probably my favorite Garbage recording. Why it wasn't on Version 2.0 AND released as a single simply baffles me.
Afterglow is good too, very dark and mysterious, but can't even match Deadwood's perfection. And, of course, Garbage's I Think I'm Paranoid is present as well, which is probably one of their better-known songs, and is always a treat.
This is one Garbage's best singles, and they continue to include amazing b-sides which are often some of their best material (Trip My Wire, Soldier Through This, etc.)
If you're into Garbage, then with a doubt buy this and prepare yourself for the amazing listening experience which is, of course, is Deadwood. October 22, 2001

This single is the one of the best out there! Sure Deadwood is good, but Afterglow could very well be a James Bond Song! It has the strings, the sultry vocals(okay so every song has that) but it is a great track for everyone who liked The World Is Not Enough!
November 20, 1999| | | "Deadwood" better than anything on Version 2.0! | |
The second track on this single, "Deadwood", is a masterpiece pairing of sampled drum loops and Bowie-like acoustic guitars. It's about telling a lover that the "fire" is gone. Shirley Manson refers to the lover as "deadwood", and the chorus goes: "I don't need you anymore; I can't use you anymore." This song is better than any track on Version 2.0 (except for "Wicked Ways"). Why the hell didn't they put this on the album? The third track on this disc is "Afterglow", a bizarre, spooky track complete with an upright bass and a string section. The instrumentation is sparse, adding to the gloom of the song. It's about a stud who fizzles out and becomes a reclusive loser. Not too uplifting, but still a brilliant track. Wrapping it all up, this is a great single, well worth the money. It is impeccably produced, as we've some to expect from the genius of Butch Vig, who I think is the George Martin of the 90's. If you don't have this, get it!
August 2, 1999If you haven't already got the "paranoid" single, then go get it! Deadwood is the absolute BEST song I've EVER HEARD in MY LIFE!!! It's got that incredible rythm to make your adrenaline rush... It's a feel good about yourself song. It totally kicks a**... After glow is okay if you like the Garbage songs more on the glooooooooooooooooooomy side.. Personally I think it's ...toooo.............ssssssslowww. Still good though. Regardless, and Nevertheless, Deadwood is WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
