ok, as I don't want to create more threads, some more info:
Ewen Bremner, 34, who played Spud in Trainspotting … has been spending time on the other side of the camera.
He’s been directing a documentary on rock band Placebo for the release of their fifth album.
He said: “I knew them a little when they started out but hadn’t seen them since until they approached me to do this.”
“It’s my first time directing and I’m enjoying it. It’s certainly a lot of hard work. The plan is to include the documentary with the album when it’s released.”
*** so, it seems it's gonna be a CD + DVD
and:
"Song To Say Goodbye" will be the first single from the new Placebo album.
*** ah, I can't wait to listen to the new album!!

I think that this album may is there best , which may is a logical consequence , the more experience you gathered the better youll be and so thats also true for placebo . Only i thought they lost some of their "bitterness" which gave the placebo songs a certain touch . they still got that , but well , may they are trying to create a bit of a new sound . I loved it though and i would always buy it again . . . nice work .
