Customer Reviews

Tracks cut-out at end?

Hi, has anyone else noticed that the tracks seem to cut out too early at the end, especially For What It's Worth when it seems to cut out half way through a word! I reported it to Apple and they've given me a refund but its still not fixed :-(

Simply Mind Blowing!

Having followed their recent promotional tour in the UK for this album - I can highly recommend this for anyones Placebo collection. Superb lyrics and musical genius. Particular favourites are 'Devil In The Details', 'Battle For The Sun', 'Breathe Underwater' and 'Kings Of Medicine'. This album has a fresh and funky vibe. Must be played on MAX volume! Enjoy!!

Placebo have a presence that has been with us since the 90's. Molko's shrewd observations of life events that affect us through a cynical view has provided us with classic tracks that few have equalled. some of the vocals recite the complexities with relationships and does make me wonder particularly ashtray heart - is this pointed at steve h. This album is fresh and reveals a matured Molko who is both confident and expressive in vocals. Despite the people who dislike this band there is no denying that this band has walked beside us hand in hand sometimes at the forefront sometimes in the background but always there and continue to challenge our ideas about what music they should make - for those who frequently point out this is no nancy boy (so 90's), bands move on. I prefer placebo's music from sleeping with ghosts onwards. Molko revealed he was nervous with this album particularly how it would be received; this album is a continuing chapter of their meds album with vocals that sit comfortably with this era. Kitty Litter should please the Nancy Boy retro lovers, however the best track for me is Julien, which is mesmerizing and will have you singing this in your head for days. Then there is the never ending why and breath underwater which is energetic and comparative to the bitter end/this picture. Please don't leave it so long next time for the next album

Due to their penchant for androgynous attire/makeup and raw, punky guitar riffs, Placebo have been described by some as a glam version of Nirvana. The multinational band was formed by singer/guitarist Brian Molko (part Scottish and American descent, but raised in England) and Swedish bassist Stefan Olsdal. Both members had previously attended the same school in Luxembourg, but they didn't cross paths properly until 1994 in London, England. Briefly called Ashtray Heart and influenced by the likes...
