Title: Sound evolves. So does Placebo
Product review: You might notice a few lackluster reviews, claiming this album is not as good as earlier work. Why oh why would you ever want Placebo to stick to only one sound, even if it were the sound that created the brilliant Without You I'm Nothing? I would hate anything adhered to too much, certainly over the span of 5 studio albums.MEDS, for me, is fresh and a rewarding listen. Where Sleeping With Ghosts might have approached too polished, MEDS goes to a slightly less overwrought construction, with a little less synth. My personal favorites are "Infra Red", "Blind", and "One of a Kind" ...you might notice there's some more generally bouncier songs on this album, but it's not without weak spots, for me, "because i want you" and "cold light of morning" just arent my personal highlights from the album.They took the natural next step in the evolution of their sound with MEDS. Give it a few listens before you decide what you ultimately think.
