Excellent best of from excellent band
One thing that strikes you about this album is the amount of first class goth/emo singles that this band has produced. There are at least 10 songs on here which should be rated 5 stars in their own right. This album puts accross Placebo's unique, distinctive and slightly meloncholic sound perfectly and is a must for all of their fans or anyone who has ever liked their singles. Althought there are too many highlights to mention individually highlights include "The bitter end", "Special K" and "Bruise pristine." All the songs are catchy, pop influenced emo and rock songs that will have you singing (and dancing in some cases) along after a few listens. This is a great introduction to a great band and is a great place for anyone new to the band to start off with.

Top Music, Top of the Mountain
I heard this whole album for the very first time while sitting out for a break from the piste in Switzerland last week. I don't profess to be a 'fan' of either this 'type' of music, or to actually even knowing it was 'Placebo', though the track 'Friend in need' was familiar. LOVED LOVED LOVED the album. Got straight onto the 'net when I got home to find out who the band were, then straight here to Amazon to order a copy. It was fantastic blasting out into the mountains at the top of the Rinerhorn in Davos/Klosters, and I'm looking forward to getting it on my ipod FAST !

Great compilation
Placebo one of the ,most diverse bands of the 90s and onwards era have done there best to sum themselves up in one album.

From the start the album is up tempo with 36 degrees and moves slickly from one song to the next. although you lose the individuality of songs from the albums you gain a great compilation.

although missing some great tracks eg come home this compilation could be described as one of the best around at the moment.

i purchased this before i saw them at wembley and i hope you enjoy this as much as i did.

Great intro to The Sex Dwarf (Brian Molko) and co...
Are you one of those people who feels disillusioned with all the Indie bands around nowadays e.g. The Libertines, Kasabian, Embrace? Do you long for bands that make effective, thought-provoking rock music that they generally care about, whilst being totally free of pretention? Then Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Howlett aka Placebo are definitely for you!
Before buying this fantastic album, the only Placebo songs I knew were 'Pure Morning' and 'The Bitter End', which I thought were both very good. But here we have a whole hour-long cd full of similar, top-quality rock tunes. From 'Special K' and 'Taste in Men' to the immortal 'Nancy Boy' this is a perfect collection for one to begin their affinity with one of the best British bands of the 90s, and hopefully this decade, and the next, and the next....!
So buy this album, or else your life will be incomplete!

Great
I brought this CD after hearing just a few of placebos songs on radio/TV etc. I am now, a die-hard fan. Their stuff is absolutely brilliant. This CD really gave a great outlook of all of their best songs. After hearing this i went straight and brought all of their other albums. I raelly do hope this isn't the end of placebo, twenty years signifies it wont be. I hope! please carry on brian and co., we love you!
