* Support per Dan56. The reviews cited - AllMusic especially - actively go out of their way to describe the album as pop above all other genres. "Garbage's self-titled debut has all the trappings of alternative rock  off-kilter arrangements, occasional bursts of noise, a female singer with a thin, airy voice  but it comes off as pop, thanks to the glossy production courtesy of drummer Butch Vig." Open and shut, if you ask me.
