RadioMad Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The intro (first minute) of the song is a bit so-so and repetitive, but fuck me... it really blossoms into being an awesome classic Placebo rocker! I think I am going to like this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 the vocals on the song are amazing, true Molko style. but i found the guitar work to be a little tired sounding. nonetheless cant wait to go see them on this tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 AL Placebo announce full album tracklisting Brian has explained the thinking behind the collection, as well as the tracklisting. Molko said: "I believe 'Battle' to be the first of our albums to tell a story over the course of its 52 minutes. Our previous releases were really only collections of songs and even though the songs are ordered according to the musical flow, I hope that if you listen hard enough to the words that some kind of discernible thematic unity will begin to emerge." BUM / BATTLE FOR THE SUN The tracklisting is: 'Kitty Litter' 'Ashtray Heart' 'Battle For The Sun' 'For What It’s Worth' 'Devil In The Details' 'Bright Lights' 'Speak In Tongues' 'The Never-Ending Why' 'Julien' 'Happy You're Gone' 'Breathe Underwater' 'Come Undone' ‘Kings Of Medicine’ source source: Placeboworld.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 is it fair to call it a "Festival Tour"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 no big surprise, the album is released in june, so summer time has a lot of festivals everywhere, good way to tour/promote the album the first months. and well they use to play in festivals, not only on this tour... pay attention to 17th July, two concerts on the same day? :thinking: :o anyways i would call it a festival tour if they would come to any festival near to were i live :P (those are not very known ones, although two years ago they were seriously rumoured for one of them :stunned: ). I hope they will announce more dates in Spain anyways. :) (Bilbao is very far from where i live :cry: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Old Painter Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Good stuff! Restored my faith a bit after being worried by the title track. This looks like a good album, and even if not this is still a mighty fine Placebo single leaving that trend unbroken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Good stuff indeed! I heard it this morning on the radio and they interviewed Brian who said the 'Placebo split' rumors are bullshit...He said that the band have many things to achieve musically and that a split is out of the question for the years to come ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioMad Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Oehhhh new single. I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The new single's video is able on their youtube channel. I like it, the suits, and the stop and labels things. although lol they keep with their stuff. hehe their hair, well i miss the old drummer... :\ [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo2cSq3s4NM]YouTube - Placebo - For What It's Worth (Official Video)[/ame] btw i found a link somewhere with 4 songs of the album, but the link is dead now, and not i could download them. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 BRAIN MOLKO GREW HIS HAIR!! LONG!! REALLY LONG!!! i love the song and annoyed at the negative reaction to it. its a much more mature sounding placebo and i'm really looking forward to this upcoming record. but the little mario kart bit is an epic fail.

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 yes hehe i've noticied that from another vid from their channel some months ago. so strange how it can be that long when not long ago he has it very short. :thinking: what do you mean with the mario kart bit?

Famous Old Painter Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 but the little mario kart bit is an epic fail. That bit is pure genius. You die now. Also on Rage last night, they played this clip next to Kasabian's newbie Fire. Two formerly short haired now way too long hair singers in a row. Is this the new style?

deaths_friend Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 ^^ haha. maybe in the context of this so called "concept' album it might make more sense. and God bless Rage!! its a dream of mine to one day(night) programme an episode of Rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZhvHP4JMqs]YouTube - Placebo - Battle For The Sun[/ame] ^just found that video. on the adverts it says that today they will play 4 songs for xfm. too bad i didn't knew it earlier :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 There are vids (youtube) with the songs they played for xfm (ashtray heart, wouldn't it be good, battle for the sun, for what it's worth) radio and of their show played in Sheffield. user bullydayz seems have more songs played live on his channel: Julien Happy you're gone devil in the details speak in tongues ashtray heart Btw from what i've read their new song: Wouldn't it be good, is a reprise from Nik Kershaw from 1984. Well sincerelly when i've listened that one i thought the video was a rick-roll as i thought... :uhoh: don't that song is from the 80's :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
