Our Take

Ah, Placebo. The band that has been causing a musical stir since the 90s with their brooding lyrics and infectious melodies. Their latest album, Battle For The Sun, is a rollercoaster of emotions that takes the listener on a wild ride through love, loss, and everything in between.

From the opening track, "Kitty Litter," it's clear that Placebo is back and they mean business. The distorted guitars and haunting vocals set the tone for an album that is both dark and uplifting. Lead singer Brian Molko's signature falsetto soars over the gritty instrumentation, creating a beautiful juxtaposition that is uniquely Placebo.

Tracks like "Ashtray Heart" and "Speak In Tongues" showcase the band's ability to blend rock and electronic elements seamlessly. The pulsating beats and catchy hooks will have you dancing one minute and contemplating life's complexities the next.

But it's the title track, "Battle For The Sun," that truly steals the show. The anthemic chorus and driving rhythm make this song an instant classic that is sure to be a fan favourite for years to come.

Overall, Battle For The Sun is a triumphant return for Placebo. With their trademark sound and bold lyricism, this album cements their status as one of the most innovative bands in the industry. So grab your eyeliner and get ready to rock out, because Placebo is back and better than ever.

About the artist

Placebo

Ah, Placebo. The band that never quite fit in but found their own unique place in the music world. With frontman Brian Molko's androgynous vocals and signature guitar riffs, they've been challenging the status quo since the 90s. Formed in London in 1994, Placebo quickly gained a cult following with their debut self-titled album in 1996. Songs like "Nancy Boy" and "Pure Morning" became anthems for the disillusioned and disaffected youth of the era. Their sound fuses elements of punk, glam rock, and alternative rock, creating a genre-defying sonic experience that is all their own. Molko's introspective lyrics and raw emotion in his delivery have struck a chord with fans and critics alike. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with Molko's captivating stage presence and the band's energy radiating through the crowd. Whether they're playing in an intimate club or headlining a festival stage, Placebo never fails to deliver a memorable show. Over the years, they've released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including "Without You I'm Nothing" and "Meds", solidifying their place as one of the most influential bands in alternative music. While some may try to pigeonhole Placebo into a specific genre, they defy categorization with their ever-evolving sound and boundary-pushing creativity. Love them or hate them, you can't deny the impact that Placebo has had on the music world. And really, isn't that what it's all about?
