Accustomed good but not usual outstanding

Since it is now. The new Placebo EP with the mysterious name "B3" and to duly extravagant cover.
I myself am now over 10 years since a very large Placebofan. A passion that has now grown almost an obsession, and therefore I have the days count down to the new EP has arrived.

5 new songs from my favorite band with a total playing time of 24 minutes, packed in a quite beautiful CD-robe.
More important than the packaging, however, is the sound of songs and is used nicely.

Brian Molkos voice may not be everyone's case - but fans of the band will not be disappointed here.
Especially the quiet "The Extra" and the rocking "B3" go well in the ear. The beginning of B3 sounds a bit like the somewhat older Placebo Song "I know".

More generally, this EP is based rather on the album "Without You I'm Nothing" than on "Battle For The Sun".
How do I find a very good development!

Still I miss a really outstanding song with catchy. A "Song To Say Goodbye", a "Every Me, Every You" or but also a really nice Balade à la "Blind".

All in all: Yes, the EP believes and makes especially like to the 2013 follow-up album (including tour!). But as great highlights missing, there is only 4 stars. 5
