2009 release, the sixth studio album from the British Alt-Rock trio. With a 13 year history that takes in five studio albums, 10 million album sales, breakdowns, clean ups and the dizzy swell of global success, Placebo return with their first album since the release of Meds in 2006. Battle For The Sun was recorded over three months by producer Dave Bottrill (chosen by the band largely because of his work with Tool) in his Toronto studio and mixed in London by Alan Moulder. Battle For The Sun is a startling, alive, vital and boundary-vaulting record that marks a whole new era for a band that were in need of a change.

过去10年英国最佳摇滚乐团…NME
Placebo乐队正式军?995年1月，由美国人Brian Molko（主唱/吉他），来自瑞典的Stefan Olsdal（贝司/键琴）和土生土长的英国人Steve Hewitt（鼓）组建。 乐队多首单曲一举登上了英国单曲榜。Brian Molko俨然如新一代摇滚乐巨星，被形容为是Mick Jagger（Rolling Stones乐队）和Freddie Mercury（Queen乐队）的混合体。Placebo，则被公认为是继承了70年代盛极一时的华丽摇滚乐精髓并将其发扬光大的新世代华丽摇滚乐坛新掌门。
05年Placebo终于加入greatest hits大军的行列，发行了他们第一张新歌加精选辑 - 《Once More With Feeling - Singles 1996-2004》。
《Once More With Feeling - Singles 1996-2004 》囊括了Placebo从95年成立96年发行第一张single到今年初非常成功的专辑《sleeping with ghosts》里面的所有单曲，另外还有包括他们最新单曲 《twenty years》和《I Do》。此张合集一共有19首歌曲。 其中收录的4首首张专辑里面的single，一次又一次让人回到原来--最初听Placebo的时候，那种被他们绝美的嗓音和美妙的曲调包围的感觉。
