Placebo is the debut studio album by the British alternative rock band Placebo, originally released in 1996. A striking introduction to their signature sound, it fuses gritty guitar riffs, dark lyrics, and androgynous allure into a record that defined the band’s early identity. The album became a cornerstone of late-’90s alternative rock, balancing vulnerability with defiance in every track.
