Placebo was formed in 1994 with the partnering of [[Brian Molko]] (vocals, guitar) and [[Stefan Olsdal]](guitar, bass).

Molko, observing that Olsdal had a guitar strapped to his back, invited Olsdal to watch him perform at a local bar.

The duo needed a drummer, and although [[Steve Hewitt]], who would play later with Placebo, was their first choice, he was working with London-based band Breed. This led [[Robert Schultzberg]] to assume the position of drummer. Schultzberg had known Olsdal from [[Sigtunaskolan Humanistiska Läroverket|boarding school in Sigtuna, Sweden]] where they'd played together in a band.<ref>Moore (2006), p.274</ref> |

The newly formed band released the single "[[Come Home (Placebo song)|Come Home]]" on Deceptive Records in 1995. This led to signing a contract with [[Hut Records]] and the band began to work on their debut album. ''Placebo'' was recorded over two months in 1996 in Dublin and London and was produced by [[Brad Wood]]. |

Placebo is the eponymous debut studio album by alternative rock band Placebo, released on 16 July, 1996, through Hut Records. It is the only album recorded with drummer Robert Schultzberg before his departure from the group.
The album was a commercial success in the UK, reaching number 5 in the UK Albums Chart. Placebo has been critically well received, with Q magazine readers voting it at number 87 in its "All Time Top 100 Albums" list.[1] Virgin placed the album 154th in its "All-Time Top 1000 Albums" list.[2] The album also spawned five singles, including "Nancy Boy" and "36 Degrees". The album was remastered and reissued in 2006 for its tenth anniversary; the anniversary release included demos and a DVD featuring live performances and music videos from the album.
Background and recording
Placebo was formed in 1994 with the partnering of Brian Molko (vocals, guitar) and Stefan Olsdal(guitar, bass). At the time, Olsdal was taking guitar lessons and was on his way home when he met Molko at the South Kensington tube station. Molko, observing that Olsdal had a guitar strapped to his back, invited Olsdal to watch him perform at a local bar. On the strength of Molko's performance, Olsdal decided that they should start a band.[3]
The two initially formed Ashtray Heart, a lo-fi duo, playing mostly on children's toy instruments. The duo needed a drummer, and although Steve Hewitt, who would play later with Placebo, was their first choice, he was working with London-based band Breed at the time. This led Robert Schultzberg to assume the position of drummer. Schultzberg had known Olsdal from boarding school in Sigtuna, Sweden where they'd played together in a band.[4]
The newly formed band released the single "Come Home" on Deceptive Records in 1995. This led to signing a contract with Hut Records and the band began to work on their debut album. Placebo was recorded over two months in 1996 in Dublin and London and was produced by Brad Wood.
After an argument in August 1996 shortly before their first TV appearance, Molko decided that it would be best for the band if Schultzberg left. But Schultzberg suggested playing together until they finished the promotion for the album, which the band accepted.[5] Before going on stage for their first show in the state of New York, Olsdal informed Schultzberg that he wouldn't perform on the tour in Germany that was following the US tour. Schultzberg played two more shows with the band in Paris after the US tour, the last of which was a performance at "Nulle Part Aillleurs". Molko has said that he was "tired of being the focus of Robert's rages against the world."[5] Schultzberg left the band in September 1996 and was replaced by Hewitt.[6]
Composition
Lyrics and themes
Many of the songs on Placebo were written in 1995. The album's opening track "Come Home", Molko simply said, is, “punk pop for postponed suicides”.[7] "Teenage Angst" is about the emotions you feel as a teenager and want to have everything kept to yourself and create your own world,[8] while Molko confusingly says "Bionic" is “about a robot fuck”.
The meaning of the album's fourth song "36 Degrees", either sexual preference or death, has caused debate among fans. Molko has stated the title is a play on words regarding the expression "cold blooded", as the average human body temperature is 37 °C (99 °F).[9] Molko has stated the song's inspiration came from his fascination with skin texture and the warmth of other human bodies; moreover, he originally intended to call the album Body Politic.[10]
"Hang On to Your IQ" is about self-deprecation regarding intelligence. Molko has stated it is the most "story-like" song on the album, “The person [in the song] is having a breakdown about every physical and emotional thing they could feel.”[10]
"Nancy Boy" differs from previous songs' themes about drugs, sex, gender confusion and bisexuality.[11][12] Molko states the album's hidden track "HK Farewell" was inspired by an acid trip Molko and Olsdal had, saying it was never written in a state of reality.[13]
Packaging
On 23 June 2012, it emerged that the boy photographed in the iconic album cover, David Fox (shown wearing a red jumper and pulling his face downward) threatened to sue the band for 'ruining' his life. His cousin Saul Fletcher took the photo and a month later simply told Fox he was going to be on a CD cover without asking him if it was OK. He claimed he was quite popular at the time but when the album came out everyone used to bully him.[14][15]
The inserts for the album feature another picture of the boy on the cover and a very small picture of the band. The rest of it is green or blue paper, with no lyrics. The reason for this is that Molko did not want people to focus on the liner, but rather the music itself.[16]
Release
Placebo was released 16 June 1996 in the UK[citation needed] on Elevator music/Hut Records and 9 July in the US[citation needed] on Caroline Records on CD, cassette and vinyl.[17][18][19] The album went at number 5 in the UK Albums Chart[citation needed] staying there for 13 weeks[citation needed] and at number 50 in France.[citation needed] The album went gold in the UK on 1 May 1997.[20] and platinum in France.[21]
Prior to the release of Placebo several singles were released to promote the album: "Bruise Pristine", "Come Home" and "36 Degrees". Placebo released two more singles after the release of the album: "Teenage Angst" and "Nancy Boy". "Nancy Boy" was a hit and reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. Placebo filmed music videos for all singles from this album.
