Why This
Album Is So Great:
When it comes to neurotic, sexually twisted, melodic rock music, you probably
won't anything more worthy than this Placebo album. There are clear parallels to Suede and
Radiohead but Placebo have their very own personality. Where Suede and Radiohead have
become more "worldly", Placebo carry a huge cloud of claustrophobia and angst
over their music. It creates a great tension which, combined with great melodic songs,
make this second album from the band a great pleasure to listen to. You get everything
from the more upbeat Cure-like popsongs like "You Don't Care About Us" to the
intense and intimate ballads like "Burger Queen". If you're looking for music
with personality and edge, it's hard to ignore this album!
Overall Rating (on a scale from 1 to 10): 9
