This is a review of the DVD of the singles collection as having tried to add the product Dooyoo insisted it already existed - so not to cause you all to say it is in the wrong category... That is why it is here! In light of the recent announcement that Placebo are to bring out their 6th Studio album 'Battle For The Sun,' which for those of you who like the band it is out 08/06/09, not that we haven't been waiting for what seems like an age for the thing to be announced - let alone released.. Now we know that it's headed our way I was slightly apprehensive to hear the new single which was played exclusively on Radio One on Tuesday night... When I heard it, I ...  Read the complete review

I felt I would do a small review for this lot. They have provided a somewhat miserable soundtrack to part of my life and their music is not as widely discussed as I would like. This album gathers some of their biggest hits to date. Who are they: UK based Indie group, with alternative and androgynous lead singer Brian Molko.

After four studio albums, Placebo, one of Britain's most creative but criticised bands, unleashed a best of which chronicled the singles from 1996-2004. This is a very comprehensive collection, the only one it misses is their very first single 'Come Home', which although being brilliant, isn't what I'd consider a significant single release, so it's not too important. On here you have all the classic hits such as 'Nancy Boy', 'Pure Morning', 'You Don't Care About Us', 'Every You Every Me', 'Special K', 'The Bitter End' and 'Special Needs'. Although all of the above mentioned tracks are fantastic and rightfully crowned classics in the ...  Read the complete review
