'Black Market Music' is the third album from the unique trio and is by no means a step down from the other two. It is a mixture of the power of power of 'Placebo' with the sensitivity of 'Without You I'm Nothing'. The bass is a big as ever, with Brian's lyrics and voice softening the heaviest of songs, and not to mention the inevitable presence of acoustic guitar in and amongst to add that extra little something.
The album begins with the first single taken from the album, 'Taste in Men', a song filled with power and a memorable refrain making it the ideal starting song. 'Spite and Malice' provides something different with guest vocals from Justin Warfield, who adds something of a Fred Durst on a happy day tone to the song. 'Slave to the Wage', the second single, provides the essential cheery Placebo song, such as 'Pure Morning' along with several others. It, once again provides a catchy melody for all to sing along to. The other songs are nothing less than you could expect from Placebo, with the obvious highs and lows, but mainly highs.
'Black Market Music' is the ultimate combination of everything they have done before, yet still manages to send the band into a whole new direction and is definitely worth a listen.
