It seemed a place for us to dream

I REALLY dislike the title of the album (the first one I do so far). As I was wondering why they have picked such a name, here's Brian's point on view on it:

“We’ve made a record about choosing life, about choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light,” explains Brian. “Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it’s there, it’s essential; it’s a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead. I’m very optimistic about the future,” concludes Brian. “I’m in a positive frame of mind and a good head space. It’s very exciting. There’s a lot of life in the old dog just yet.”

So, despite still thinking it's a silly title, it kinda makes sense anyway.

"The album will be released on download, CD, limited edition CD + DVD, LP and a very limited special Deluxe Box Set. We are going to hide 5 Golden Laminate passes inside 5 of the Box Sets - 1 per continent. The Golden Laminate will win you and a guest an amazing VIP day with Placebo. You'll come to a gig within your country, we'll provide 2 nights accommodation and you'll get to watch the band soundcheck, have dinner with Brian, Stef and Steve at the venue before finally watching the show from side stage...! "

Now THAT is a hell of a good idea, Placebo having their Willy Wonka moment.

"The first single 'Battle For The Sun' will be played tomorrow, around 7.00 pm on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show" - listen to it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/zanelowe/
