Product Description

CD Description
'Meds' is the fifth studio album from UK trio Placebo. Produced by Dimitri Tikovoi and recorded in just eight weeks, Tikovoi made the band strip back their sound, doing away with studio trickery and taking the band back to their early indie rock roots. The album features the lead single 'Because I Want You'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Placebo album ever !!!, 9 Feb 2006
I had the chance to get Placebo's new album "Meds" last week before everybody and it's hard to describe how voiceless I was ! This album is probably the best album Placebo has ever made ! All the songs are unique, so good and they bring you back to what Placebo used to do at the beginning of their carrier. From the pure rock "Infra red", to the deep transcendent "Space Monkey", to the wonderfully dramatic "Follow the cops back home" .... And You'll obviously love "In the light of the cold morning" and "Song to say goodbye". You'll love all of them without exception and this album is going to be a very big hit, I am sure of it !!! Can't wait to see them on stage !!! :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Evolution of Placebo, 9 Feb 2006
Placebo have once again captured their unique alternative sound in an entire record. Although some of the track have a very pop related genre, there is still enough mysterious and dark music to satisfy. A slight step down from sleeping with ghosts. Similarly as with previous records the songs are growing on me with time.

Thankfully i have heard a pre release demo of this CD so forgive me if my ratings differ from yours.

1. Meds - A very solid opening for the record 8/10
2. Infra Red - Catchy melody, less than original lyrics 6/10
3. Drag - Another solid track, again very catchy 7/10
4. Space Monkey - Typical dark Placebo song. Amazing 10/10
5. Follow The Cops Back Home - Slow, melodic, thoughtfull 8.5/10
6. Post Blue - Would fit in the same genre as Bitter End, Will probably become a Placebo anthem 9/10
7. Because I Want You - Disapointing in my opinion 6/10
8. Blind - Gentle mix of vocals and instruments, very solid track 7.5/10
9. Pierrot The Clown - Slow, moving, not as catchy as previous placebo tracks 7/10
10. Broken Promise - Brilliant. Very well written and performed 9/10
11. One Of A Kind - Hinges on if you think the melody is annoying. Personally i think it is 6/10
12. In The Cold Light Of The Morning - One word. Soothing 7/10
13. Song To Say Goodbye - Well built up track, Brilliant Placebo lyrics 9/10

Definately a good record to add to your Collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, 13 Mar 2006
I wouldnt say it's their best yet as some have, but thats because i find it hard to pick a placebo "best album" .. it all depends what mood i'm in as to which i prefer, but without a doubt this new album is brilliant!!

Features a song with Micheal Stipe (R.E.M front man) and Alison Mosshart (The Kills). If you've heard the first single (because I want you) don't judge the album just on that track, it's probably the weakest. Others such as Infra-red, Drag and Song to say goodbye are mind-blowing.

All in all this album easily gets a 5 star rating from me.
