Sleeping With Ghosts (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Placebo have over time is constantly developing, expanding, and changed. Your fourth album "Sleeping with Ghosts" is the next stage of development for "Black Market Music".
The most striking is that placebo on "Sleeping With Ghosts" more electronic elements to use than ever. The title track is a positive example for the new placebo-sound and pulling a later than the second hearing in his spell. When Brian Molko with his unique voice in the chorus "Soulmates Never Die" sings, supported by atmospheric Elektronikgewaber which are moving moments.
The tense mood in "I'll be yours" or the heartbreaking "Centrefolds" can not be a simple cold. One should show the new sound open-minded.
The times have just start rocking than placebo unerringly how on their first album, are definitely over. But that is not to say that placebo would not rock, on the contrary, they rock only to another and possibly more interesting level. One should give the new album definitely time and can not be, for example, from the experimental "Something Rotten" put off, because this song has its appeal.
In addition, highlights such as "This Picture" or "The Bitter End", which developed a driving dynamics as "Every You, Every Me" from the second placebo-disc, still go directly into the ear, as one especially of the pieces knows the first two placebo albums. Who still does not have a placebo CD should perhaps rather first get started as the magnificent second album "Without You I'm Nothing" or the self-titled debut hit. But even "Sleeping With Ghosts" I can absolutely recommend, if you're willing to get involved in the new style of placebo.
