Placebo Without You

A Place for Us to Dream: 20 Years of Placebo celebrates the nihilistic English alt-rock veterans' first two decades via a handsome two-disc set that also boasts a 32-page book of pictures curated by co-founders Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal. Opening with the band's propulsive 1998 hit "Pure Morning," the perfect distillation of Placebo's seedy Suede-meets-Harvey Danger brand of goth and Brit-pop-tinged glam rock, A Place for Us to Dream drops a little fan bait early on via the soaring new single "Jesus' Son." Less sordid than live staples like "Nancy Boy," "Taste in Men," and "The Bitter End," all three of which are included here, it retains the group's nervy energy, but leans harder on the anthemic side of things. Obviously, the collection's biggest selling point over 2004's Once More with Feeling: Singles 1996-2004, is the inclusion of post-Sleeping with Ghosts gems like "Meds," "Infra Red," "Too Many Friends," and Molko and Olsdal's brooding rendering of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill."

With the 2003 release of the critically lauded album Sleeping With Ghosts, Placebo proved once again why they are widely hailed as one of the best acts in the game.
In a whirlwind year, they re-emerged as one of the most innovative and inspired bands around, playing to hundreds of thousands of rabid fans from America to Asia to Australia and all points of the globe.
Here in the US, the band completed two sold-out coast-to-coast tours and achieved sales figures not seen since 1998's breakthrough release Without You I'm Nothing.
