Album review: Garbage – No Gods No Masters Shirley Manson and Garbage deliver righteous anger and a rallying cry on album number seven, No Gods No Masters. Words: James Hickie When Kerrang! conducted a career-spanning interview with Shirley Manson in early 2018, Garbage’s singer was in garrulous form as she identified the ills of a planet she’s occupied for 54 years and counting. “When the world gets scared, the first people they punish are the women,” she suggested, extrapolating on a wider point about the downturn in her band’s fortunes in the post‑9/11 landscape. That her band have gone on to release a new album with a spiky opening track called The Men Who Rule The World should come as a surprise to no one, then. That Garbage should sound so imperious and relevant doing it is the more startling development.
