Thank you. I have my parents playing that album now, who are into their 50's, as well as a friend who had absolutely no musical interest at all. She didn't know who they Beatles or Coldplay were

Placebo`s first album is certainly one of the great debut albums in the 90`s with its glam rock and cerebral metal feel, but for me the essence of its greatness is Robert Schultzberg`s drumming, very reminiscent of Jimmy Chamberlin with is dense powerful sound that`s kept on a leesh.

I am glad you enjoyed the thread. I only really posted one South African band here but I do think I reviewed a couple prominent bands and albums in the album reviews section. (Goldfish, Underbelly, Fokofpolisiekar)
I am compiling a compo of some South African stuff and will have it up within the next day or so, so if you are interested DL that and share your comments.

"Placebo" does capture the heart of the band. I would love to know what you thought about "Battle for the Sun," though. Whether you review it or just reply doesn't matter. [=
Good choice.

I can certainly see why you love them, they do sound rather spectacular at times. I will try my up-most to have a little something about it up over the weekend. Cheers for stopping by.
