Meds

Meds is the fifth studio album by English alternative rock band Placebo. It was released on 13 March 2006 through Virgin Records in most countries on 13 March 2006, although it was released three days earlier in Australia (standard and special editions) and New Zealand (standard edition only). Illegal copies had previously been available on the Internet since 17 January 2006. The album has sold over 1.1 million copies worldwide. Meds was re-released by Virgin in the United States in January 2007 with three extra tracks—"Lazarus", "UNEEDMEMORETHANINEEDU" (both also B-sides on the "Meds" single), and "Running Up that Hill"—and "In the Cold Light of Morning" omitted (because it contains "dirty words"). The album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions. The Chilean 2-CD edition includes a bonus disc of live tracks recorded at the Centro Cultural Estación Mapocho, Santiago, Chile on 1 and 2 April 2005.
