Placebo has made a great new album with Tool producer David Bottrill.
I love that record.
This song (and album) is very good indeed.
Black market music, Sleeping with ghost and Meds are less attractive but still very good albums.
Can't wait to see them live someday

My first thought was "80s Rush!" Considering that, to say that it lacks "balls" is redundant. I like this, though, regardless of the comparison.

What is this, Geddy Lee on Quaaludes?

eeeh. I can see I'm going to have to be much more discriminating with my musical palate, or I am going to get a fat ear.

Nice to hear Placebo on here. Though I'd like to hear "Twenty Years" instead... much better track... IMO...

Agreed. With better vocals, it might be a killer song.

Can't really stand the Pet Shop Boys (which this is reminscint of) but for some reason, every song I hear of these guys I kinda like...

I get the Pet Shop Boys comparisons, but Rush? Not hardly.

What????

Are you implying that a re-discovered guitar and rock-and-roll can't save the world??? Oh, no! And 2012 is so close.


Placebo reminds me of Pavlov's Dog and David Surkamp.

Geez, Placebo opening for Stabbing Westward? This must've been before Sleeping for Ghosts? I saw them in 2003 in LA. They were really amazing. I'm still baffled as to how this song doesn't have a higher rating.

nice song. But unfortunately "pure morning",the best placebo song ever, can't be found in the library here at RP - if somebody can upload that song, please do so!

Okay, what is the 'real' deal here, Bill? This set had The Pretenders, Replacements, and Placebo -- so what the heck is Bloc Party doing in the middle of it?

But Placebo's vocalist is also male. Am I missing your point, Radiojunkie? :)

Maybe if you're Hindu and can choose from 457 different gods --- that would give it the appropriate rating of 1/457th.

Haven't heard this one in a long time. When it came out (in 1998, was it?) I listened to it over and over and over again. A great song. A great album. A must if you have heartache like I did. :)
