Info for A Place for Us to Dream

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since Placebo burst on to the scene with their self-titled debut album. Featuring enduring classics such as ‘Nancy Boy’ and ’36 Degrees’, it established them as a band unafraid to look at life’s fringes, with frontman Brian Molko writing deeply personal songs that resonated with fans worldwide.

This retrospective is essentially an update of 2004’s compilation of chart-busting emotional torment, Once More With Feeling – twice as long, so with a smaller proportion of hits. The non-chronological track order leads to some effective juxtapositions and changes in mood, but it highlights the too-abundant weaknesses in the band’s recent output. Following the intense, murkily sexual Every You Every Me with Too Many Friends (from 2013’s tender Loud Like Love) a sharp, sad critique of social media, which has something of the Broadway musical ballad about it, is mutually beneficial.

"Between the novelty of its alternative recordings and its strong foundation in the band’s first decade, this retrospective album creeps up beyond a three. Ultimately though, retrospection is probably the most fitting lens to use when thinking about Placebo, because clearly the best has already passed." (spillmagazine.com)
