Black Market Music finds Molko in such moody lust that his strangled, androgynous wailing rivals anything the band has previously flashed to the world. Whether it's the dripping, slithery punk circle of songs like 'Black Eyed' or the choir-boy enthusiasm of others like 'Special K' (strangely echoing Midnight Oil's 'Warakurna'), Placebo seem to have finally found that sweet wet spot between beauty and perversion.
