I thought when I first listened to it that it was so much heavier and darker than the previous albums, and it really took me a lot of getting into. There are probably less songs which could be called 'typical Placebo' - with the catchy guitar and such, in the vein of Nancy Boy, Teenage Angst, Bulletproof Cupid etc.

I do love it now though, Brian's voice is addictive and the songs are still brilliant. 'Meds' is good, so is 'Because I want you' -

Stumble into you
Is all I ever to do
My memory's hazy
And I'm afraid to be alone
Tear us in two
Is all it's gonna do

'In the cold light of morning' is probably another standout.

I say go out and buy it nownownownownow... Oh, if you like Conan - he's in the White Stripes' video of the Denial Twist! Actually the whole video is Conan-themed.
