"A Place for Us to Dream" is a compilation album by the English alternative rock band Placebo, released on October 7, 2016, to commemorate the band's twentieth anniversary. The album features a total of 36 tracks, encompassing a diverse collection of their music, including album cuts, single versions, radio edits, live performances, and redux editions of previously released songs, alongside the new single "Jesus' Son."
The compilation includes nearly all of Placebo's singles, with a few exceptions such as "Burger Queen Français," "Twenty Years," and "The Never-Ending Why." The title "A Place for Us to Dream" is derived from a lyric in the song "Narcoleptic," featured on their third album, Black Market Music. The album cover is a striking image captured during the 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot, adding a dramatic visual element to the release.
The announcement of the album came on August 4, 2016, via Placebo's official website. It was made available in several formats, including limited edition deluxe box set pink vinyl, limited edition deluxe box set black vinyl, double CD, and digital download.
The compilation was well-received, celebrating Placebo's legacy and showcasing their evolution over the years. It serves as a comprehensive collection for both long-time fans and newcomers, reflecting the band's unique sound and impactful presence in the alternative rock scene.
