new placebo has leaked

[joyfulgirl]

"Post Blue" is on repeat in my car.

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

has anybody pointed out yet that brian molko's voice sounds exactly the same as pet shop boys's neil tennant?

its almost like neil tennant jumped genres and sang to guitar driven late 90s alternative rock instead of synthesizers

 

[bono_man2002]

They have a new album already??

Oh

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Jesus. I just turned to my boyfriend and said, "How out of the loop am I? Placebo has a new album coming out and I know nothing about it! Oh, wait. This thread's from 2006..."

And for what it's worth, as a huge fan of both Placebo and Pet Shop Boys, Brian and Neil sound nothing alike.

 

[FitzChivalry]

They have a new album already??

Oh

Acutally, they are working on their new album with their new drummer, Steve Forrest, and they should be finished by October or November, so *Fitz crosses his fingers* hopefully the new album at the latest next spring.

Jesus. I just turned to my boyfriend and said, "How out of the loop am I? Placebo has a new album coming out and I know nothing about it! Oh, wait. This thread's from 2006..."

I just did had the exact same reaction for about two seconds and then I went Oh yeah, I just found out a couple days ago that they're still working on the new album..

And for what it's worth, as a huge fan of both Placebo and Pet Shop Boys, Brian and Neil sound nothing alike.

I completely agree. They may sound vaguely similar, but really even that is a stretch in my opinion. Two very separate and distinct singers and styles of delivery.

Someone needs to stop bumping two-year-old threads.

Thanks, I knew they were working on a new album, but for a second there I thought they must have pulled a Racontures on us!

normally i'd agree, but since it's mine, it's ok.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Someone needs to stop bumping two-year-old threads.

especially ones titled, "new [insert name of band you love] leaked"

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Bumping ancient threads isn't all bad. It's been a long time since I've listened to Meds, and this thread reminded me. Think I'll give that record a spin.

 

[joyfulgirl]

This thread brings me shame. Meds is one of, like, three leaks I downloaded in my life and then I never bought it. This thread needs to sink and disappear and we should start a new Placebo thread.

And I should listen to Meds again. I liked it at first but never fell in love with it.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Don't worry, joyful. I own enough copies of Meds for the both of us.

But yeah. New Placebo thread time. This one is past its prime.

Me liking Placebo is entirely your fault, you know.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Me, too. I still have to get Without You I'm Nothing. That's apparently "the one," right?

 

[FitzChivalry]

Me, too. I still have to get Without You I'm Nothing. That's apparently "the one," right?

HELLZ YEAH!! Without You I'm Nothing


'Pure Morning'
'Allergic'
'Burger Queen'
'You Don't Care About Us'
'Ask For Answers'
'Without You I'm Nothing'
'My Sweet Prince'
'Brick Shithouse'

sooooooo many great songs!

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I like being blamed for this!

Me, too. I still have to get Without You I'm Nothing. That's apparently "the one," right?

I love all their records, but this one has some classics on it, as Fitz mentioned. Burger Queen, Every You Every Me, Without You I'm Nothing, Scared of Girls, and Allergic are my favorites. I've heard them play Allergic live a couple times now, and each time I turn into a screaming fangirl.

Yeah, now that I think about that record, I'd say definitely pick it up. Not to overhype it, because everyone has their favorite songs, but it's a defining album for Placebo.

 

[joyfulgirl]

each time I turn into a screaming fangirl.

I'd like to see this.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I'd like to see this.

Haha... It really does look a lot like this:

And I swear I'm completely composed for the rest of their set...
