B3 is Placebo taking everything that they have been throughout the years and providing the listener with a compelling look at the variety of their music. The opener, with its catchy chorus and electronic sound could have been on Sleeping With Ghosts, The Extra could have fit on Black Market Music, and slow-burner Time is Money would have sit comfortably next to Pierrot the Clown on Meds, the only track that feels out of place is the Minxus cover (the collaboration the world was waiting for, apparently), but other than that B3EP is a nice return to form and a good listen for fans and newcomers alike
