This Irish quartet is formed around the same basic ingredients as
Garbage -- hard rock riffs piled atop electronic beats -- and does sound an awful lot like them (the female singer is the clincher). But where
Garbage slips sly little nuggets of inspiration into its music,
Skindive settles for the obvious. This isn't bad stuff (some of the songs, like the spiraling "Tranquilizer," are actually quite good); it's just not very original.
