Summary by Bot

This review of Placebo's Meds album is presented as a chat transcript, offering a highly sarcastic and mixed reaction. The reviewers express disappointment compared to earlier work, citing a lack of originality and mediocre songs. The format is experimental, asking readers to interpret the conversation in reverse order. Despite some recognition of good moments, the overall view is that the album falls short.

Placebo

Placebo are a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1994. The core members are Brian Molko (vocals, guitar) and Stefan Olsdal (bass, guitar). They rose to prominence in the late 1990s with albums such as Without You I'm Nothing and are known for Molko's distinctive voice and androgynous image.

 Pierrot The Clown... touches even those with a heart of stone, bringing a tear to even those who have no eyes to cry.

 Brian, Steve, and Stefan are like wine. They get better with time.


By Matt7

 In this little masterpiece, everything is perfect: the electronics present but not annoying, the lyrics, the guitars, and Brian’s desperate yet sweet voice.

 This album represents the sum of the previous four albums: it has the rage of Placebo, the melancholy of Without You I’m Nothing, the flaws of Black Market Music, and the right experimentation of Sleeping with Ghosts.


By Brizz89

 The album is in the end the classic album that almost all bands that want to re-propose themselves without changing anything is: a search to continue without changing the profile that ends in boredom and repetition.

 Meds is halfway between the band’s old glories and that half-failure that I consider to be their penultimate work.


By ste84

 The rock of Placebo is not made to be played only with essential instruments.

 'Meds' is a work to be appreciated over time but it will not sound new to you at all.


By Jack Darko

 Meds is an album composed of tracks that hark back to previous ones and others that prove to be innovative and new for Placebo.

 In 'In the Cold Light of Morning', Brian’s voice sneaks between the bones like a cold wind, giving chills of fear.
