Our Take

If there's one band that knows how to mix up a cocktail of emotion, angst, and raw energy, it's Placebo. And their latest offering, "Meds," is no exception. From the pounding drums of opener "Meds" to the synth-heavy sounds of "Infra-Red," this album is a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows.

Frontman Brian Molko's distinctive vocals cut through the chaos like a knife, bringing a sense of vulnerability to the often dark lyrics. Tracks like "Because I Want You" and "Follow the Cops Back Home" showcase Placebo's ability to blend pop hooks with gritty rock riffs seamlessly.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Meds." There are moments of lightness, like the dreamy ballad "Space Monkey" and the infectious "Blind," that show a different side to the band. "Post Blue" is a standout track, with its pulsating bassline and Molko's haunting vocals.

Overall, "Meds" is a solid addition to Placebo's discography, showcasing their ability to deliver catchy, edgy tunes with a dark twist. It may not be their most groundbreaking work, but it's definitely worth a listen for fans old and new. So pop a pill, sit back, and let Placebo take you on a wild ride through the ups and downs of life.

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?
