|  | DEFEATED BATTLE FOR MOLKO & C.
Sixth album in study for one of the most controversial bands of the British alternative rock. Someone thought that the Placebo you/they had undertaken however the road that would have brought them early on the avenue of the sunset and the change of the drummer of it didn't seem to depose to them favor. Luckily the Placebo they have gone out with "Battle For The Sun", denying in man that all the detractors are not said, publishing a shiny album that doesn't also admit decreases of tension not being a masterpiece. In Battle for the Sun, the band uses tools ever used previously, as the trumpets or the saxophones and it is noticed for the composition of this album the influence of musicians as PJ Harvey and the band My Bloody Valentine. Of however already the first individual "Battle For the Sun" it did well to hope, a guitar sincopata supported by the rhythms of the tattooed Steve Forrest and the clear voice of Molko with a choral refrain supported by violins and keyboards. The beginning in every case is overwhelming, with the penetrating trace of opening "Kitty Litter" and the powerful one "Ashtray Heart" with its choirs and its riff of keyboard that it is directly installed in head, becoming perhaps some monotonous. After her already quoted title-track it appears the second individual "For What It's Worth", with a bossy lower part that takes possession him some scene while Molko sings of desperation and loneliness "No one cares when you're out on the street.No one cares when you're down in the gutter got no friends got no lover." Certainly they don't also miss any small disappointments for the listeners. "Julien" it has an arrangement on the false line of the bands emo - pop adolescent, and perhaps I am really the young rockettaris to be able to mostly appreciate this last job of the trio driven by Molko, also because the true Placebo I am well other thing. The true lifeblood of the Placebo has not died however and in fact in "Bright Lights", characterized by a languid walk despite the guitars scratching and the pressing rhythm, and in "Speak in Tongues", a ballad that he/she remembers the best written by Molko in the first years of activity, finds again the band that has made us dream in the preceding disks. Very in pop style "Kings of medicines" unlike "Happy you're gone" that it follows the line traced from "Speak in Tongues" In substance, you/he/she has been difficult to strive to maintain in life the image of the transgressive and bright group of the debuts. The Placebo with this last job they are found to an alternative: to channel their dark energy in mature passages, that maintain intact the tempering and the spirit of the debuts, or to try of reinventarsi as the nth group from the easy rock and from the winning look, without too complications. In the first case they will find the favors of the fanses to them tied up. There will be always otherwise thick teams of young people to welcome them among their braccias.
