ONE of the last few Ninties bands still making an impact, Placebo return with their sixth album.

And you know what, it's not half bad.

It's obviously not as raw and exciting as their selftitled debut or Without You I'm Nothing, but they still certainly know how to write a tune.

The title track is a great mesh of styles and instruments, and powerful with it.

The Never-Ending Why is classic Placebo.
