Placebo's eponymous debut was released in the summer of 1996 and made the Top Five despite going against the trend of Britpop in every way imaginable. Spawning the hits "Nancy Boy" and "36 Degrees," the self-styled glam rock epic was recorded with grunge man Brad Wood at Westland Studios in Dublin. The songs demanded attention, particularly Brian Molko's distinctive gender-bending vocalese and integral flair for melodrama. Additional standouts include "Bruise Pristine," a superb riff-heavy extravaganza, and "Come Home while "Teenage Angst" served as a calling card favorite at live shows then and now.
