Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ending a nearly decade-long studio silence, 'Never Let Me Go' finds Placebo incorporating heavy industrial rock and synthetic textures into their alternative blueprint. The album is characterized by a pervasive sense of ecological and existential anxiety, utilizing distorted electronics to match its bleak lyrical themes. It represents a dark, urgent, and creative resurgence for the veteran duo.
