It might be better than you think- it's really impossible to judge a piece of writing immediately after you've written it. The perspective just isn't there yet. My understanding is that this is not a one draft project, so revision may fix whatever's broken now.
Also, if you can get into that giggly-snarky-having-fun-with-it kinda mind-frame you'll like the results more, no matter what other people end up thinking of it. -- Don't know if that's helpful. (If not, apologies in advance.)
Your Garbage fanness rocks. You're missing "Not My Idea." That may be my favorite track off the first album. Well, that's a hard track to pick, since there are a lot of greats. And dude, you have "Girl Don't Come" without "Lick the Pavement." I usually listen to those two together because they rock so hard in a similar way. Oh, and "Enough Is Never Enough" seems like a good pumping-up song. "Trip My Wire"! I love "Metal Heart."
I await the story of How Cleo Got Her Groove Back.
I don't know that I have "Lick the Pavement." I don't have any of the non-album songs on CD, I know that for sure, and I didn't really burn all three to my hard drive--I just picked the songs I liked best. For some reason, I think I like the first CD the least (which is still a lot). I love "Special," but for some reason didn't put it on my computer until last night.
I'm not sure I could pick an album I like the least, especially because I don't have the beautifulgarbage hate that most Garbage fans seem to. I can't hate an album that gave me "So Like a Rose."
And heh. I kind of hate "Special." It is way, way, way down at the bottom of my list of Garbage songs. I hate it more for being a single when there were much better songs off that album. I mean, the "Aaaah aah aaah aaah" business bugged me to begin with, and I didn't like it a whole lot, but it really annoyed me when they could have used "Hammering in My Head" or "Temptation Waits" or "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" or, I don't know, anything else. Even "Wicked Ways," which I also don't think is superhot.
I don't get what's up with the beautifulgarbage hate--I think that's my second favorite, with Garbage 2.0 being my favorite; I'm not factoring Bleed Like Me in until I've listened to it more. There are other BG songs I like; I just don't have them in my mix (or, indeed, on my computer).
I really like "Special," though--she gets this strange Chrissie Hynde kind of sound, particularly towards the end, that I like. I do think "Temptation Waits" should have been a single, though, as it's one of the best songs on there.
I'm downloading it, but I haven't been able to listen to it with a straight face since Passions used it for a dirty dance competition storyline. The "dirty dancing" actually involved ballet-style lifting and pirouettes, and due to the nature of soap operas, was shown every day for at least a week. It was seriously one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and probably the worst song choice possible.

Chocolate is brainwave-inducing in any form. It is like a drug that can be baked into brownies as well as smoked!
