Mar 31, 2022Superb album. Best record they've released in years, it's right up there with their very best work.
-
Mar 28, 2022Definitely will need more listens because I didn't connect with it so much at first. I'm not expecting it to be better than their first efforts over time, but at least it sounds cohesive.
-
Mar 28, 2022Pure, absolute beauty. Placebo makes a comeback of epic proportions with an album so different from the rest, and yet so completely Placebo.

Mar 28, 2022Made me fall in love with Placebo again. Brian brings that desperate melancholy back to where it sits so well. It's beautiful, it's a welcome home.

Mar 25, 2022This truly may be their greatest album to date, eclipsing even the legendary Without You I'm Nothing. The consistency here is astonishing, while the intricate electronic production sounds both aggressively modern yet also quintessentially Placebo. Almost every track feels like it could've been the lead single; there's no filler here. This is what a contemporary rock record should sound like.

Mar 25, 2022Soulmates never die! My, oh my...what an amazing album - a real surprise! Not one song on the album I want to skip. Just beautiful and better than expected! Thank you so much Brian and Stef! ;)

Mar 25, 2022This is a great comeback after a 9-year absence. Track "Fix yourself" reminds The Cure and is a good ending of the album. Pretty mature work comparing to the previous "Loud like love"!

Mar 25, 2022My favorite band is back and they’re better than ever ❤️
-
Mar 25, 2022Easily their best album. Their most focused and hauntingly beautiful for sure, very emotional and restrained. I wasn't expecting this amazing record.

Apr 1, 2022This won’t be anyone’s favourite Placebo album, but Never Let Me Go is a good solid effort from a band with a considerably lengthy career behind them that hasn’t dropped a record in nearly a decade. So, it’s good to hear that they’re still around and continuing to push themselves, though perhaps just not far enough to be truly remarkable.
-
Mar 31, 2022Never Let Me Go feels like an astute observation of our current post-pandemic social climate, as if the current global narrative has finally caught up to that of Placebo's internal monologue. And though the realities of that are pretty bloody bleak, at least we've got an excellent album out of it.
-
Mar 31, 2022If Never Let Me Go at least finds a musical footing, what really dooms it is the songwriting—or lack thereof. Molko uses the same stilted, broken phrasing in too many songs as if he is pausing mid-verse to try and think up a vocal hook.
