Album Description
Available in:
Meds est le cinquième album studio du groupe de rock alternatif anglais Placebo. Il est sorti le 13 mars 2006 chez Virgin Records dans la plupart des pays, bien qu'il soit sorti trois jours plus tôt en Australie (éditions standard et spéciale) et en Nouvelle-Zélande (édition standard uniquement). Des copies illégales étaient disponibles sur Internet depuis le 17 janvier 2006. L'album s'est vendu à plus de 1,1 million d'exemplaires dans le monde.
Meds a été réédité par Virgin aux États-Unis en janvier 2007 avec trois titres supplémentaires - "Lazarus", "UNEEDMEMORETHANINEEDU" (tous deux également faces B du single "Meds"), et "Running Up that Hill" - et sans "In the Cold Light of Morning" (parce qu'il contient des "gros mots"). L'album a été publié avec le système de protection Copy Control dans certaines régions. L'édition chilienne en 2 CD comprend un disque bonus de morceaux enregistrés en direct au Centro Cultural Estación Mapocho, Santiago, Chili, les 1er et 2 avril 2005.
User Album Review
With 2004's release of Placebo's singles collection, the band reaffirmed that it has never quite fit into any particular fad. Their success has been gradual in the sense that their style and sound have progressed naturally with each album. Meds builds upon that notion while also embarking on a new phase for Placebo. Meds is their second coming. Frontman Brian Molko is no longer the glam-chic, gender-bending firestarter he once was. His songs are still angry and twisted in self-reflection and social rejection. Meds doesn't contain the rush to experiment like their previous records do. It's as bare and honest as Placebo have ever been, thanks to French producer Dimitri Tikovoi's straightforward approach in getting the band to make a bona fide rock record. There's a fresh vulnerability here and a sense of danger, too; the album's title track quickly enters this sphere. It's an obsessive moment confronting the social hypnosis and dependence of medication. The Kills' Alison Mosshart lends an anxious vocal backdrop as Placebo deliver an aggressive guitar-driven assault. Meds doesn't stop for breath until its end. Fans should be pleased with the menacing "Infra-Red" and the sexy ensnaring of "One of a Kind," two tracks that showcase Placebo's signature fiery performance style. When they're not deconstructing social expectations, Placebo's storytelling is equally powerful on the more lilting tracks. The shifty slow burn of "Space Monkey" is an epic ballad for the band. Placebo step out of their skin here. A squall of fuzzed guitars, strings, and Molko's brooding vocals strike to knock down the celebrity pedestal that creates a false human image. "Broken Promise," a duet with Michael Stipe, takes similar shape as a dramatic tale of adultery unfolds into a dark, emotional storm. Letting go of toxic relationships on "Song to Say Goodbye," a melancholic closing to Meds, brings the album full circle. To some, Meds might come off as less interesting compared to the slickness of older tracks such as "Taste in Men" and "Every You Every Me." Some may be over Molko's constant analysis of sex, drugs, and desire. What you see is what you get with Placebo and, for the first time in a long time, that vision is clear.
