a fan of good music, an alternative listener
My boyfriend loves Placebo so I decided to give them a chance. I loved the vocal effects and the mood of the album.
It's funny how listening to something which seems to target an audience which I am simply not a part of (disaffected, distressed, different and dark youth would be my guess) can still rock my world.
I am never sure if lyrics such as these will encourage people to go deeper into dark places, not to their benefit, or serve as part of healing by showing that they are not alone. The jury's still out for me, I guess.
