jorisApr 5, 2006More of the same pathos, they made a boring formula out of themselves... and that's a pitty for a band that was once very good, now I can't even stand Brain's voice anymore, always drowned in those same guitarlayers+synth/sound... though on some songs like INFRA-RED or Song To Say Goodbye e.g. they still prove they can write some decent and exciting rocksongs

Apr 14, 2014The best album since Without You I'm Nothing, and the best album of hte decade, an classic album, have all the energy, have it all,is an album with no mistakes, is the perfect album that the old fans should have

HeinApr 30, 2006Just boring and not important. Buy "Black Market Music" instead "Meds".

FredericoMApr 4, 2006Good all around cd.
-
-
AliMApr 6, 2006Zzzzzzzzzzz. Sounds just like every other record Placebo have ever released - it sounds kinda catchy at first but wears thin very quickly.

[Anonymous]Apr 6, 2006Big transgressive work. Sad.

ErnstS.LApr 11, 2006above average. just that.

MattApr 11, 2006Just a highly annoying CD. They have lost everything that made them a little interesting.

suedeApr 10, 2006meds is worst album of the 2006. all songs are boring. yeah, Infra-Red is good but other songs are so stupid.

EricOApr 24, 2006Their best album.. "Follow the Cops Back Home" is an instant Placebo classic.

vermindeathstackApr 4, 2006Good, but not their best.

LanaBo-BanaApr 4, 2006amazing songs, beautiful lyrics....best i've heard.

sANDApr 5, 2006Absolutely wonderful effort to make a perfect album. Worth every penny.

RobertJApr 6, 2006actually it should be "oh, these guys are still together?/10". they need to add that option to the dropbox.

SoupSApr 7, 2006I wish there was more to this band than their image. But all the bisexual-goffick-singing-about-gay-sex posturing in the world won't save a band who writes songs as utterly boring as this one.

MarcoMApr 8, 2006Very addictive album, does not mesure up to their previous ones but this is not far from great.

MaskYApr 9, 2006their weakest album so far. I hope they split soon...

AdrianoCMay 10, 2006It contains quite a few surprises, such as some epic songs. It's immediate and very catchy; maybe the best album Molko & co. have ever done.

MassimoMay 6, 2006That'not bad!

AndrewAJun 3, 2006Placebo's worst album so far. A bad version of Sleeping With Ghosts. It doesn't have the energy nor the beauty that characterized Placebo's earlier works

DurandallSep 3, 2006Very good lyrics and songs, all f their Albums are great but this one is the best. Basically all are good songs except one of a kinds that its just ok.

MortenONov 5, 2006for me this is the perfect album. I saw them at Roskilde and they blow me away....

BenMcApr 19, 2006'Meds' 'Space Monkey' 'Follow the Cops Back Home' and 'Post Blue' are fantastic, most of the others are quite listenable, but I find first single 'Because I Want You' the only real disappointment here. Placebo fans will love it.
-
-
DecepticonPomApr 21, 2006A bit of alright, I suppose. There will be much better and much worse albo's out this year. But finishing the albo with the lead single (Song To Say Goodbye) is a rare bold move.
-
-
LJDeeApr 4, 2006A very solid album and a good evolution from recent work. The first 6 songs are truly marvellous and respect the Placebo style... A must for Placebo fans and definately a good starter album for non-fans looking for a unique sound and superb guitars.

jasonwMay 15, 2006Sensationally good songs - if the new Muse album is half as good, it'll be worth it.
-
-
MilosFMay 16, 2006The best lyrics so far. Eventhough all the songs sound pretty much the same, Placebo managed to produce a post-modernistic novel starting from Meds and ending with Song to say goodbye. It

JamalSMay 2, 2006A thoroughly uninspired album from a band that I try so hard to love. Buy their best of or Sleeping With Ghosts before touching this album.

AndyYMay 9, 2006Brian Molko is still quite taken with his *scandalous* androgyny and sexuality. It's a pity no one else is.

manossJun 18, 2006All 13 songs are pleasant to hear except tracks 11,12. Some of them are really great like "because i want u" and "broken promise". A solid album

chriskNov 26, 2006While it may not be shattering any new musical boundries, but nor do my favourite pair of jeans set a new fashion statement - but to me both feelooksound good. I have ended up listening to this album more than perhaps any other this year. It is darkly poigniant and gorgeous. I think Placebo may be one of the best bands still doing great music after 5 CDs.

Jan 16, 2022El mejor álbum de Placebo en cuanto a sonido. A pesar de que "volvieron a su sonido" con este álbum, lo cierto es que no suena nada a Without You I'm Nothing, Black Market Music o Placebo.
Awards & Rankings
-
Rolling StonePiles on near-emo levels of deep feelings over a plush bed of New Order synth beats and echoey atmospherics. [6 Apr 2006, p.69]
-
Molko still manages to carry songs with his affected, nasal delivery as the band provides a steady backbone.
-
Meds is as bare and honest as Placebo has ever been.
