## Description

.com               Glammy, druggy, androgynous: the guitar-hefting trio Placebo has rarely left its aesthetic cornerstones vague. With a title like Meds, they've no intention of doing so in 2006. "Baby, did you forget to take your meds?" is the opening chorus, sung with an endearing, scared soft-wrap by the Kills' Alison Mosshart  perhaps an ironically simple little question given singer Brian Molko's oft-declared dope fascination. Following the band's 2004 hits collection, Once More with Feeling  which closed with the lean "Twenty Years," the then-new and brilliant single  Meds strips Placebo down anew, focusing on guitars, Molko's high-pitched vocals, Stefan Olsdals bounding bass, and drummer Steve Hewitts determined, hard-hitting thwack. Having toyed with electronics and, famously, hooking up with David Bowie (among other luminaries), Placebo here presents gems like "Broken Promise," with its piano-tinted, haunted guest vocal from Michael Stipe that foreshadows a guitar-blasting thunderstorm. It drives the mind again to ponder: With their records selling more than 6 million copies globally, how come Placebo isn't a massively "it" band in the U.S.? It's this country's loss. --Andrew Bartlett

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Amazing album
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019*

I’ve always loved this album. As soon as I saw it was available on vinyl, I jumped at the purchase. There are no skips or noise errors and it just sounds pristine. Why only 3 stars? It’s not one of the greatest of all time. But it is one of my favorite “anytime” albums.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Sound evolves. So does Placebo
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2006*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Opposite issue from everyone else.
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2014*

First of all, I want to make it clear that this isn't a problem with the album per-se.  The album plays well and is a strong offering from Placebo.However, a number of people in the comments had mentioned (complained) that this was the re-release album.  I was actually shipped the original version so it did not have the track-list that I was expecting.  To clarify, I was expecting the 15 track version (including UNEEDMEMORETHANINEEDYOU and Running Up That Hill); however, I receieved the 13 track version (including In The Cold Light Of Morning).Amazon, please include track lists for all albums you sell and do not lump different versions of the same album together.
