Search - Placebo :: Maximum: Placebo

Pretty decent biographical recording

"I'm a little disappointed, I must say, I was expecting at least a song or 2 by the band somewhere on this recording. Instead I got a biography with lame techno-esc melodies between the over-worded chapters. The author makes the common biography mistake of seemingly elevating the subject (or subjects) to sainthood. Apparently, the highs are high and their lows were catastrophic. But all that aside, it's pretty informative and there are some nice quotes from the boys at the beginning of the sections; one of them by Stefan, who up until now, I wasn't sure could speak.
I'd recommend it to any fans, but don't expect much."

A huge disappointment

"if you are goung to buy this, the most yoshould have to pay is $5.00. this cd only has a band interview and the beginning of each track, they only last 15 secs. the rest of it is a woman speaking about placebo. it seems she's read about 2 magazine articles on placebo, and is just restating it. this cd is of no use to someone who knows about placebo, if you know absolutely nothing about placebo then buy it."
