			<description><![CDATA[from what i´ve heard, this album is pretty good. I heard the five free listens on their mainpage, and hope to recieve the album tomorrow. <br />
I remember that there were a couple of tracks that stuck out as really good in my ears, battle for the sun was one of them. <br>POSTED: 06/09/2009 01:26pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This album's okay and has 3 stand out tracks (Ashtray Heart, Battle For the Sun, and Kings of Medicine) and the rest of the songs are at least decent. But if I compared this one to any other album they made, it's not too good.<br>POSTED: 06/09/2009 04:00pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Placebo is an awesome band and I've been looking forward to the release of this album for over a year, but I feel incredibly disappointed.  Brian Molko is an incredible lyricist, but this album is a mess of redundancy.  Its almost like the band had writers block or something.  This is hands down the worst Placebo album ever. <br>POSTED: 06/09/2009 11:33pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now i´ve been listening to the album a lot, and though (and maybe because) i never really listened to other placebo albums prior to this one, i really like it. I think it´s a solid rock album, with quite a few standout tracks, and the rest is okay. Theres no bad songs imo. The standout tracks: Battle for the sun, devil in the details, the never-ending why, julien, breathe underwater and kings of medicine. I´m very satisfied with my purchase, and can´t wait to dig into placebos previous titles<br>POSTED: 06/12/2009 07:39am]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe not the best album released by Placebo, but c'mon, It's not that bad, Battle For The Sun has a couple of really good songs and overall is a good album. Of course we all huge fans of the band are a little dissapointed of their latest works, but how on earth are albums like Sleeping With Ghosts or Without You I'm Nothing going to be surpassed? That's a hard duty to achieve. In the end, they are a great live band, I'm actually expecting to go see them again this summer.<br>POSTED: 06/17/2009 02:58pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This album isn't like previous Placebo albums, they've chnged alot. At first I was super bleak, but after listening to it a couple of times I grew to really like it.<br />
This album may not offer "instant grab", but if you write it off completely you will miss out on some awesome tracks.<br>POSTED: 06/19/2009 04:00am]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["but just on song doesn't make any album a good one... Or maybe if the song would be 45 minutes long or something."<br />
haha you're a jokemaster... the second review sucks.<br />
I'll never understand why are people so angry about every their new album that they recorded since Sleeping With Ghosts... Of course, every their new album is different... However, Battle For The Sun is pretty interesting and I love it.<br>POSTED: 07/03/2009 12:11pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alright, I'm a huge Placebo and was really looking forward to this album,so much so that I was too nervous to listen to it for like two days after I bought it.<br />
<br />
Anyways, when I first listened to it I was disgusted...I turned it off when Brian sang ''No one cares when you're out on the street, picking up the pieces to make end meet.etc'' It just got so cringe-worthy and cliched.<br />
So, I went back and listened to Meds to remind myself how excellent Placebo can be.<br />
That was last week, fast forward 7 days and I can safely say I love this album.It's a different Placebo, yes, but songs such as Ashtray Heart,Battle for the Son,Speak in Tongues,Devil in the Details,Happy You're Gone and Kings of Medicine are worthy entries into Placebo's backcatalogue and live set.<br />
The drummer's awesome.Most of Brian's lyrics are good and the production is top quality.<br />
<br />
And plus, critics have never given Placebo any praise - mainly because of their image in the late 90s.<br>POSTED: 07/06/2009 02:02pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Placebo has always being a band able to capture emotions into their songs and this album is not the exception! The experimentation with all the new instruments is just GENIOUS! I love the way they play with our adrenaline through all the album, arising these strong and "naughty" feelings with "Kitty Litter" and "Julien", but finally reminding us their essence and soul with "Come Undone" and "Kings of Medicine". For me Battle For The Sun is a BRILLIANT album, quite different for their previous work, yes, but completely worth it! I can barely wait to hear them live! <img src="/img/sm1.gif" valign=center><br>POSTED: 07/10/2009 12:52pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This album was good. it is so opinionated in that review i stopped reading it because it was so biased. Placebo is a great band in itself and molko is brilliant. you guys hate it, placebo fan's love it. if you wanna talk about a bad album, try talking about lil waynes rock album and stop talking about a great musical endevor. if you hate the new placebo album, turn it off. you've got two arms and a heart beat don't you?<br>POSTED: 07/31/2009 01:53pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok, I'm new to this site BUT..what i think some of you are forgetting is that musicians are just human beings who do a job. A job that sometimes they love and sometimes they struggle with, like everyone. I have been a Placebo fan since their very beginning, and whilst i realise that BATTLE FOR THE SUN may not have been what everyone was quite expecting, that does NOT make it a bad album. It is in fact their most musically-technical album to date. Note comments re string and brass arrangements...brass section not something you'd automatically think of when you think PLACEBO, but all additional arrangements are SO well written, arranged and thought through that how can they do anything BUT enhance Brian Molko's natural gift for writing brilliant songs. The band are human beings and, like us all, they grow and change with time...The replacement of Steve Hewitt with Steve Forrest is a very wise one (although i had no issues with Hewitt's musical ability) and a very natural progression for a band who wanted to do new things, break new ground...My god, they work hard enough, it's surely up to them to write / produce what they want. Perhaps when Molko "repeats" lyrics he is simply saying what HE wants the song to say...ok, so sometimes the lyrics ARE slightly predictable, but if all you are listening to is the words and not the song as a whole creation then you shouldn't call yourself a "music" fan. Placebo will probably never write another "Without you i'm nothing"...A brilliant album in it's own right, but they ALL are. If on sound is all you ever want to hear then that's your choice, but don't shut your ears and minds to new dimensions. The band certainly don't, and that is one of the reasons i will always be on their side!. x<br>POSTED: 07/19/2011 07:39pm]]></description>
