Ambient Light Blog
Seven albums over twenty six years and Garbage is as relevant as it ever was, with a slinky, seductive sound of hate, horror and harrow. Clearly, Manson, et al are still only happy when it rains.

Pitchfork
With pop stars once again performing garish exaggerations of what seems like real personal trauma, Shirley Manson & co. have timed their return perfectly.
-
Rolling Stone
Shirley Manson & Co. take on climate change, racial injustice and her own demons on the band’s spirited seventh record.
-
Wall of Sound
There will be those that will argue that this is an anti-male record, and that Garbage have gone too woke. But in reality, it’s an anti-power record, and that power needs to be held to account. Listen and I mean listen to what’s being sung throughout this album and the conversations Garbage are creating around these societal issues.

PopMatters
Arguably Garbage’s most political record, No Gods No Masters is simultaneously novel and familiar. It’s a stark reflection of the recent overwhelming angst.
-
No Ripcord
The questions they pose are never easy, if a little on the nose sometimes, but the soundtrack that supports them moves with kinetic abandon even in its steadier moments. Considering the vast number of ideas they put forth here, they're still finding new ways to engage with their signature formula after all these years—easily one of their most robust since 2008's Version 2.0.

The Times
They may be random and strange, but Garbage are still unlike any other band.

Evening Standard
bizarrely fun and absolutely furious.

Instinct Magazine
On Friday, June 11, No Gods No Masters was fully released, and it just may be the best Garbage album since Version 2.0. That’s not to say that albums 3-6 were bad. Far from it. What makes No Gods No Masters is that it is an evolution in Garbage’s style, and it captures the emotions, frailties, insecurities, and outrage of the times we are currently in.
