Brian Molko, everyone's favourite ladyboy, certainly made his mark with Placebo's most notorious single: "Nancy Boy", a tale of gay sex and eye-holes in paper bags launched a dozen Student Union Bar spoofs("Bacon sandwich up my bum / Watching Newsnight just for fun") and propelled Placebo into the Top 10 and tabloid infamy with a single deft stroke.

Reviews"The shifty melodic swirl of Placebo goes down as easy as a sugar pill, though its sweet pop hooks hide dark humor in a musical masquerade that recalls the dynamic tenion of Pond...and the distortion-tinged waves of the Pumpkins...", "They've Always Had a Knack for Finding Glitter in London's Seedy Underbelly.", 8 (out of 10) - "...pure teenage angst....indecently catchy pop songs....an all too rare pop record with intentions far beyond the drab recreation of vintage '60s moments...", Recommended - "...Even if you weren't looking, Placebo stand up and scream for your attention....if post-punk/grunge is going anywhere meaningful at all, it's down their dark road.", "An Alt-Rock Must Have....Set to Sublimely Snotty but Irresistibly Catchy Tunes.", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Their mostly uptempo, mainly downbeat debut...does not fall neatly on modern indie's map....Brian Molko...drapes a stab of punksome adrenaline....the effect is uneasily sharp and tuneful....this energising, square-peg stuff...", Ranked #13 in Nme's 1996 Critic's Poll., Ranked #21 on Melody Maker's List of 1996's 'albums of the Year.', 3 stars out of 5 -- "The best of the clutch of rarities among the additional tracks is the ultra-percussive punk-funk banshee wail of 'Paycheck'..."
Additional InformationPost-punk, art-rock, pitch-perfect pop collide, elevated by Brian Molko's unique vocals on ear-popping 1996 debut.
