This album is the debut album from the band and arguably their finest input. After a recent binge on their music due to the new album being released not so long ago, I have concluded my favourite 3 albums of theirs to be:
1. Placebo 1996
2. Black Market Music 2000
3. Sleeping With Ghosts 2003
There is something that intrigues me when it comes to a bands debut album, 90-95% of the time the debut captures all of what is good about the band and showcases what music they really do play. A more pure, true, un-touched version of a band and their sound.
This album is case-in-point as it captures all of what draws me to Placebo, whether it is the droned out guitar or the extraordinary vocals, everything just sits hand in hand with each other. Although it may not be the most talented music or band, this album is a fine release with many really entertaining and easy to get into. 7.6/10

I discovered this band through a friend a few years ago and fell in love with them. As soon as I began complaining about the lack of a new album, "Battle for the Sun" came out, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
"Placebo"
does capture the heart of the band. I would love to know what you thought about "Battle for the Sun," though. Whether you review it or just reply doesn't matter. [=
Good choice.
