"I've held back a wealth of sh#!, I think I'm gonna choke..."

Why Do You Love Me by Garbage is a fun and fearless song from my favorite band of all-time. Shirley Manson's vocals and songwriting is top-notch, love that redheaded lass! This import also contains three unreleased songs: A cover The Ramones classic, I Just Wanna Have Something to Do, Nobody Can Win, and Space Can Come Through Anyone. If you are Garbage nut like me, you must add this EP to your collection! April 4, 2008

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! August 29, 2005

Good extra tracks.

The title song is very good, not perhaps Garbage's best, but probably worth buying if you don't plan on getting the album. 'Space Can Come Through Anyone' is average, it doesn't particularly grab me, but it's not terrible. 'Nobody Can Win' is probably my favorite track, but it isn't really in keeping with Garbage's normal style, and the acoustic guitar isn't anything to write home about. 'I Just Wannna Have something To Do' is pretty terrible, it drags my rating down at least one star, and is completely faceless and dull. The video feature is interesting, but if, like me, you rip your music it is a bit of an annoyance. July 16, 2005

They're Baaaaaaack

And it was worth the wait. Garbage is one of my favorite bands, so needless to say I was looking forward to the new album. Deffinatly on of their best since version 2.0. their are hints of some old school garbage in this album. Worth spending the money on in my opinion! May 18, 2005

Space Can Come Through Anyone

Though Why Do You Love Me is a good song on its own, there's another reason why this single is worth the purchase: the b-side Space Can Come Through Anyone. This song is good and should've been put on the album instead of the biggest weakness of Bleed Like Me: Sex Is Not The Enemy. Space is far more fun and innovative than the bland, uncreative Sex and has a slight Version 2.0 feel to it.

The completely acoustic Nobody Can Win is just okay, and shows that Garbage definitely needs more than just a guitar and the vague presence of a glockenspiel in the background to craft a good song. Also, a rock album like Bleed Like Me doesn't need an acoustic song, especially this one, since it would take away the raw feeling of the album.

The cover I Just Wanna Have Something To Do didn't do much for me either, like nearly every cover Garbage has done. Since it got released on a compilation a few years ago, I think Garbage could've done far better by putting a new b-side on here. May 16, 2005
