Placebo: Placebo
CD, Virgin Records 1996
Track list: Come Home - Teenage Angst - Bionic - 36 Degrees - Hang on to Your IQ - Nancy Boy - I Know - Bruise Pristine - Lady of the Flowers - Swallow - H.K. Farewell
Few bands are at their best on their debut albums, and neither is Placebo. It's a fine album, nonetheless, with tracks like 36 Degrees, Nancy Boy, Bruise Pristine and Teenage Angst - few albums can match those, especially Nancy Boy. The sound is rawer than on later Placebo albums, though the material isn't that different in the end. A fine, fine debut and certainly a must-have album. For me, at least! ****
