gah beat me to it. I just picked it up. Amazing album. Not a track I dont like and thats rare for a first listen with me. Also picked up the Precious single (had the songs anyway but I wanted them on CD).
Im gonna give it another listen tomorrow and ill post some sort of review or what tracks I like or something to that effect. Just gotta get the songs stuck in my head first. |

| I'm definitely checking out this album. Depeche Mode is my favorite band. Can't wait to see them in concert next month. |

Ok after a second listen I can safely say that this may possibly be my favourite DM album. It just feels so complete, so dark, so heavy (pain that im used to) yet hopeful (nothings impossible). It just has it all. The grooves (oh lillian, john the revelator), the classics (pain that im used to, precious. It really merges the ambience of DM with its industrial and synth side. What can i say...maybe it came out at the right time (as ive just recently been getting in to DM coincidentally) or maybe it truly is a masterpeice.
As much as i liked violator this one just takes the cake. Im just scared of over playing it but i know for sure it will have massive replayability, being so diverse and all.
tiny little critique, "introspectre" shouldve been canned. its a completely useless transition track and its definetly skip-worthy. Im not a fan of those types of things (i.e the minute long pause on Furious Angels by Rob D before CTD II, always annoys the out of me or the long instrumental after Enjoy the silence which is a part of the track)
edit: the album wouldve been absolutly perfect if they replaced introspectre with the b-side "free" |

I actually think it flows really well with the following track "Damaged People", Gives it such a crazy intro feel imo
As for the album, ..., Its so dark and powerfull, ..., simply in love with it after the first listen as well!
