Placebo: Sleeping with Ghosts

CD, Virgin Records 2003

Track list: Bulletproof Cupid - English Summer Rain - This Picture - Sleeping with Ghosts - The Bitter End - Something Rotten - Plasticine - Special Needs - I'll Be Yours - Second Sight - Protect Me From What I Want - Centrefolds

While Bulletproof Cupid is no Pure Morning, it's still a bloody captivating start for this album ripe with great tracks. The Bitter End is, for me, the number one hit and one of the reasons that got me interested in Placebo in the beginning. English Summer Rain, This Picture, Plasticine, Second Sight, I'll Be Yours, Special Needs... One great track after another. *****
