Placebo (10th Anniversary Edition/+DVD) [Digipak] - Placebo

Maximum Placebo?

Advantages: Good collection of basic facts about the band
Disadvantages: If you're a hardcore fan, you'll have heard it all before

It's fair to say that I'm more than a little bit Placebo mad; in fact, it's truer to say, that I'm obsessed with the alternative three piece! As a loyal devotee to the band, I'm always on the look out for new and exciting memorabilia to satisfy my band needs. So, one shopping trip in Lincoln a couple of years ago took me - as always - to a music shop. At the time, I hadn't got all of the Placebo albums themselves so I went over to see what they'd got in stock. With my Mother doing her best to divert my attentions from their records (later I'd find out this was because I would be getting them for my birthday), my fingers stumbled across an unofficial CD called 'Maximum Placebo' claiming to be an 'Unauthorised Biography' of the group.

PLACEBO -PLACEBO forgotten album ?

Advantages: Vocals, lyrics, music, all of it.

Review of Placebo - Placebo

Placebo's ghosts

Advantages: A few known tracks on the album
Disadvantages: Some sound the same

This album has a lot to say about itself including the title of the album - sleeping with ghosts, that's just a bit scary don't you think? My purchase: I first heard the song 'This picture' (track 3) on a graham norton show when placebo performed it and personally thought it was a good song. I then decided that i would go out and get the album a few days later already having the knowledge of some of placebo's past songs (The bitter end - track 5). Once hearing the album i thought it was quite good and was pleased by my purchase! The members of the band placebo are: Brian Molko : Vocals and guitar Stefan Olsdal : Bass guitar Steven Hewitt : Drums The album was released last year on April 1st(2003) and consists of twelve tracks altogether which include: 1. Bulletproof cupid: This song starts of fairly slow with a couple ...
