Classic Anthology Review: Placebo | Once More With Feeling

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Androgynous singer Brian Molko and his bandmates in U.K. glam-rock outfit Placebo condense their four underappreciated albums into 67 sure-to-be underappreciated minutes.

Songs: 19.

Actual Hits: None on this side of the Atlantic, though cuts like Nancy Boy, Pure Morning and English Summer Rain shoulda been.

Missing In Action: It wasn’t a single, but their cover of T. Rex’s Twentieth Century Boy would have been a nice treat.

Extras! Extras! Three suitably dark and atmospheric new cuts.
