A real surprise of this new album. One would slow somewhat stale routine can be expected after several years of establishment, where teenage angst is still only so ne pose. But I'm - itself becoming older, soon dangerously close to the 30 - totally surprised, because for that very the title album and perhaps the single "Taste of men" I have no Placebo songs more so bowled such as "infrastructure red "and" Song To Say Goodbye ". The rockier 3 1/2 minutes numbers are very straight, but overall I had with the first Hördurchgängen get the impression that the 3 men did here just what they want and with a very fine production, quite a few electrical gadgetry and intentional overdriving holds. Except for the number 9, which I find a bit too pathetic, I would give the board the full vote. Lyrically interesting that in addition to the title track of the reference (instead of drugs) appears to the consumption of psychotropic drugs in multiple titles. "I'm medicated - How are you?" and Brian Molko wrote aloud interview the final track to itself, a bloated, once charismatic artists of moving is only one self-pitying wreck. -> A classic case for Prozac. Interesting in this context also the Coming Out by Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor as Never drink in the countless interviews selbstbekennenden "With_teeth" publication. PS: Certainly has already been mentioned that the singer of The Kills in Track 1 and Michael Stipe (REM) to get involved in track 10.
