Life's what you make IT . Without you I'M nothing.

That's not to say that Placebo's sound is boring; churning guitars and direct, heavy basslines give the album a good deal of strength, and Molko is able to write moving, gritty melodies and fairly clever lyrics. Placebo may sound like a mix between the Smashing Pumpkins and Rush - and the levels of melodrama on the album may stretch far beyond most people's tolerance - but it's well-written and performs enough variations on those genres to keep it interesting.

Placebo were alt-rock dynamos in the late ’90s and early ‘oos. Who doesn’t remember the aerial shot of Ryan Phillipe calmly driving his Jaguar Roadster down a New York highway, set to the chilling Every Me And Every You, in the opening scene of 1999’s Cruel Intentions? Lead singer Brian Molko commanded a nasal voice that’s androgynous and a little scary, and almost entirely singular. With 2009’s Battle for the Sun, though, the band seemed to lose something essential. The closing track, Time Is Money, is easily the album’s most powerful, and feels the truest to some of the band’s classic themes of disillusionment and making the sacred profane. So like Jesus, give it all away, he sings. It’s a quality song, one that reminds us of the niche that Placebo have carved for themselves, one no one else will ever quite be able to fill. Essential Tracks: Time Is Money.
