I'll be the first to admit that I'm not Placebo's number one fan, however, Battle For The Sun, with it's haunting instrumentals has merited a four star rating from me. Brian Molko's melodic voice has carried the song, creating a gothic atmosphere with sexual and sensual undertones. When one listens to Battle of The Sun, it isn't hard to imagine it in films such as Twilight where the theme is based on mystical and forbidden love. Whilst the melody of Battle of The Sun is certainly one of the best I've heard from Placebo and many other cult bands this year, I believe it is only worth four stars due to its disappointing lyrics. Whilst the music seems to be packed with so much emotion, and Molko's voice conveying a solemn but beautiful message, the lyrics do not seem to reflect this. Therefore, in my opinion Battle of The Sun is great sounding but I only wish that Placebo had tried harder to give the lyrics the same impact as the music.

Placebo's sixth record, and their first full studio album with new drummer Steve Forrest ... more
is heavier than more recent efforts, and recalls the band's original harder sound. However, there are more complex string arrangements, as well as trumpets and sax...
Advantages: ..'' A Heart that hurts is a Heart That Works'' Placebo -battle for the sun Disadvantages: slight different direction musically for the band -may put some off(not me)
Advantages: There are a couple of good songs, I guess.... Disadvantages: Lots of rubbish, tries too hard to be interesting, lacks the supposed positive attitude...
Advantages: There are a couple of good songs and promise for others... Disadvantages: Just too many bland tracks to be a good album; repetitive and altogether dull
