Placebo

If you've yet to land a prescription for Placebo, this reissue of the U.K. trio's 1996 debut is the perfect time to get your meds. Placebo's glammy, gloomy guitar heroics brought them outrageous acclaim in their homeland and across Europe, though American audiences were less impressed. Placebo stands the test of time remarkably well, raging with tight changes and singer-guitarist Brian Molko's scathing lyrics. Included as bonus tracks are four unreleased tunes that will surely stoke hardcore fans.
