Looks like Placebo will be releasing a new album September 16. You can pre-order now in different formats.

They have also announced some tour dates for Europe around November.

Going from the teaser, I am completely disinterested.

Man, I used to love PLACEBO back in the day. "WITHOUT YOU I'M NOTHING" is one of the best albums of all time. It has aged magnificently, too.

"BLACK MARKET MUSIC" was their last decent album.

 
O love will you read the letters I will send to you.

Have to agree that the teaser isn't pulling me in either.

I also loved the old Placebo... 1st 3 albums were something else! I'm hoping this new album has some of the old style Placebo.

- You like noisy music?
- Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.
- You don't like to think? What do you like?
- Never thought about it.

A group of 50 people were split into two groups of 25. One group was given the Placebo cd 'without you I'm nothing', the other a blank disc. Both groups reported back that they heard nothing worthwhile, I'm pretty sure there is a scientific name for this occurrence.

Urban legend?

For what it's worth I can confirm Without You I'm Nothing is a great album.  The rest of Placebo's work is pretty hit and miss...

Nah, I got the joke, just didn't think it was your finest work (presuming you didn't just copy and paste it from elsewhere).
