Placebo's sixth record, and their first full studio album with new drummer Steve Forrest is heavier than more recent efforts, and recalls the band's original harder sound.
However, there are more complex string arrangements, as well as trumpets and saxophones, showing the band is still growing musically and expanding their sound. Front man Brain Molko has stated that Battle For The Sun is Placebo's first album with a single unifying theme.
"We've made a record about choosing life, about choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light. Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it's there, it's essential; it's a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead."
