I am aware, im 글쓰기 this 2 years after the album came out- i write these mainly because i want to write 기사 as a career, and for fun.I'd appreciate constructive criticism, if 당신 could . thanks.
Three years after the release of iffy 'Sleeping With Ghosts', Placebo returned with 'Meds' forgetting once and for all the androgyny and mystery that had surrounded them a few years before. While the 2003 release saw the band edging away from that, 'Meds' confirmed what every 팬 knew would eventually happen- Molko and co. would grow up.
Meds is a celebration of all their past music, all rolled into a 더 많이 rock-orientated sound which was paraded on their self-titled debut album. Molko's sighing wail however still sounds as fresh as ever, his guitars playing an even bigger part in the sound of the album. Hewitt's drumming is less funky and 더 많이 plain, which although adds a sense of conformity to the album, also simply ties in with how it should sound.
Opener 'Meds' starts with simple chords, but from the first few seconds, it is clear this is nothing like the 팬 have previously heard from placebo. VV from the kills makes a pleasant contribution to the song, as it comes to its noisy, claustrophobic climax, repeating the words "Sex, Drugs & Complications." From the start, we know the album is a reflection on not only the lives of the members but a reflection of the band's past.
'Infra Red' is a breath of fresh air, however. Simple and poppy, it is very catchy and you'll find yourself 노래 along quite quickly. Molko's voice has never sounded so good- whether it's through perfecting his voice 또는 very good editing.
'Drag' jumps straight on after, but it's 제목 is misleading. This is not another 'Nancy Boy', but a pop song about admiring someone. Although it seems to be about a lover 또는 partner, it can be about anybody- friend, sister, fans? "I've just gotta get it off my chest/i think youre divine' sighs Molko, in the final verse. an uplifting, beautiful pop-rock song.
'Space Monkey' returns to the sleaze side of the band, with its slow, lazy beats, and Kills-esque 기타 and singing. The chorus is belted out 의해 molko, under an array of beautiful noise, but the best part is the ending, the song finished 의해 the words "like 당신 let me down before". This is definitely the best song of the album.
After four jumpy, pop anthems, Placebo chill out with Follow The Cops Back Home. Both the 기타 and drums sort of echo, in a simplistic way, harmonising not only with each other, but with Molko's singing. This is a lot quieter than 이전 songs, but it does not feel out of place- in fact, there is no other place for it, really.
Post Blue, however, feels most out of place after the 이전 song, but does its job in bringing us back to the sound portrayed in the first four songs. Olsdal's 베이스 works again with the drums to make the 기타 sound even better, showing how brilliantly made this album is.
The first single from the album is Because I Want 당신 . another song of reflection, everything works perfectly together to make this another high point in the album. After Post Blue, this is a summery breath of fresh air, with the simple 피아노 in parts working beautifully with the lyrics.
The 다음 track, Blind concentrates mostly on Molko's singing, and the lyrics are lovely. "Find a brand new way of seeing/your eyes forever glued to mine - it may seem slightly cheesy, but for placebo, these lyrics are quite romantic.
Pierrot The Clown however, is another slow, simple song. It's lyrics are much like Molkos cry- bruising, but brilliant.
Another collaboration comes with 다음 song Broken Promise - this time in the form of REM's Michael Stipe. his and Molko's voice work perfectly together to make this song the angry belter it should be. Full of emotion, the explosive choruses are a contrast to the piano-ed verses.
One Of A Kind is extremely similar to Infra Red, but the repetition is needed after having two quite emotional songs in a row. It is another song to smile to, and a perfect song to listen to in the spring 또는 summer.
Another weak point, however, is penultimate track In The Cold Light Of Morning . Returning to 이전 styles of writing- "A loser/a sinner/a cock in a dildo's disguise" , for example, but it simply feels like filler, before the brilliant final track, Song To Say Goodbye .
Again, sounding similar to 이전 songs, it still manages to end the album on a high- an emotion-filled beautiful song to prove that Placebo can still give brilliant music, even if it means leaving unsatisfied 팬 behind.
