Black Market Music is the third studio album by British alternative rock band Placebo. The album took nine months to record, from late-1999 to mid-2000; the longest that the band had ever spent recording an album until 2022`s Never Let Me Go. It was released on 9 October 2000 by record label Hut.
Four singles were released from the album: `Taste in Men`, `Slave to the Wage`, `Special K` and `Black-Eyed`. The album reached number 6 in the UK Albums Chart, and received a generally favourable reaction from music critics.
Background and content
Speaking to Kerrang! in June 2009, Brian Molko remembered:
We had a real swagger and bravado when we went into the studio for this one. We had just come off a really successful tour and felt we`d really exploded. We felt like cowboys of rock! We were also really heavily medicated and beginning to get quite deep into drugs. That`s probably why it took nine months to make an album. The drugs also contributed to a certain amount of arrogance. At least that`s what I remember from the time. I think we had a desire to write about the world we saw around us. We thought it was cool that, though other people were a little afraid to get deep down and dirty, we could take it on ourselves to write about those things. I think that album was the start of us trying to mix genres. We had so much hatred for rap-rock bands like Limp Bizkit and all they represented – misogyny, homophobia and commercialism – that we wanted to do our own version of it.[2]
The album is dedicated to music publicist Scott Piering,[3] who died of cancer in early 2000.[4] The song `Commercial for Levi` is a reference to the sound technician Levi Tecofski, who on one occasion saved frontman Brian Molko`s life: Molko, drunk and about to cross the road, was quickly pulled back by Tecofski from the path of an approaching vehicle.[5]
