Nothing new...

Review Score: (8/10)
Comparing this album to Placebo's previous albums is not a great idea. The basic elements are all the same; they have same band members, the same singer, and the same style as their old albums (with minor exceptions). So what is different about Placebo's new LP? Honestly, I don't know, but their music changed for the better and this is easily the best album they have ever made.

Do not take this to mean they scrapped all of the old elements that were good. I liked the old Placebo for the same reasons I love the new album. They just improved everything to a degree that is amazing. It is like they are a completely new band, but without changing anything.

This album is one of the better rock albums released this year. This three piece belts out up-tempo melodies that stick in your head like glue, and plays mellower ballads without sounding like it is forced. I do not want to sound overly praising, but this is album is a good one, well worth the listen. On a scale of one to ten, this gets somewhere between a 6 and 7. This is recommended listening for anyone.
