come on kids what do you think of the new placebo albumn in which they attempt to stray from the nancy boy image? I personally love it .... especially the live footage on the bonus dvd where they do a song with the cure

When it's got tracks about boys whose voices 'made him cry', how is it not a nancy-boy album?

I liked it. Mainly because it's not Sleeping with Ghosts (which I didn't lik very much)again.

i know i know ... notice i said 'attempt' to stray .... i still think their sound is very much the same but in the documentary on the making of meds brian molko was all for leaving the image behind

Listening to the album a couple times (distracted mind you) I found there wasn't really any stanadout tracks.  Listening to the older stuff there were a few songs that interrupted whatever I was doing to go, "wow, thats good shit".

I'll admit some Albums do get under my radar like that.  Most notably Bloc Party's Silent Alarm.  Listening through when I got it didn't do shit, but for some reason I gave it anothher go a while ago and shit, it hit the spot.

I think that Silent Alarm is extremely patchy. The good songs are amazing. The bad songs just leave me completly cold. And the random, needless f-word in the middle of one song pisses me off no end. I mean why do you need to swear when your lyrics are meaningless bullshit anyway?

I was pretty disappointed. The songs were pretty similar to one another. Usually on past albums there was a real range from the more upbeat song to the slower and more thoughtful ones; here there was no difference. Aah, well. It doesn't change the fact that Brian Molko is hot.
