Placebo also offer on their latest accustomed worth hearing! The already mentioned in numerous interviews and album reviews positive vibes, the Battle for the Sun stand out, the band are not bad, but are also by no means such a drastic style change, as might have been expected due to the pre-announcements. No one needs to worry that the Weltzschmerz would totally disappeared from the world of Brian Molko. In fact, there are even quite little experiments on Battle for the Sun. Straighte Rocker with the known ingredients that quite suitable for the intended placebo big arenas, guarantee a relatively unobtrusive recording in the live setlist for the upcoming tour and also those not hurt, now denouncing the supposedly missing melancholy. So, everything as usual and certainly a recommendation for those who are on guitar-based pop rock with catchy. What to this point may be but said hopefully times: The new G-codes on the covers (with DVD Supplement) are absolutely unacceptable! I am one of the few who, despite easily accessible free downloads still like to buy the originals, because the entire experience of hearing, seeing and feeling a drive is important for me. In addition, the artist should definitely get its deserved share of the service provided. But with such blemishes that are ugly and unnecessary consumers are alienated! The coronation of ridicule is still a G-0 specification, which is an expected here. Tip: The CD + DVD is not for sale in Germany!
