THE REVIEW
So, who's afraid of ghosts?
Hello everyone, Placebo are among the musicians with the most technique in the UK.
I noticed this, for example, in BulletProof Cupid, the intro, (try to replicate it and you'll realize how many syncopations there are, it even seems like a mess, given that the piece is in 6/8, but it sounds like a 3/4
(personal opinions obviously).

For those who like Placebo, this album will be enjoyable.
"Sleeping With Ghosts" is a slow and poignant ballad, perhaps the best track on the album.

I have to admit it boasts quite a production and mix.
It won’t unleash any kind of energy and grit but it’s not slow or boring and can be quite appreciated.

"The best tracks remain the rock ones in Placebo style while the electronic ones are quite repetitive."
"Special Needs is the worst song I have ever heard. Electronics mixing with Placebo’s music is not a good match."
