alcoholic kind of mood ...

placebo 's debut album is simpler and less melancholic, but faster and angrier than "whithout you i'm nothing" as it draws its main inspiration from punk + teenage angst.
The production is very raw and lo fi and Brian Molko's voice is far from the expressionistic quality he 'd achieve on Latter efforts.
The First Eight tracks are all fast and furious, "Lady of the Flowers" is the only ballad here, the beautiful instrumental "HK Farewell" closes one of the most stunning debut albums of the nineties
