Re: Depeche Mode

"Violator" is a classic. I'm eager to hear more of the new album.

Re: Depeche Mode

Speaking of Depeche Mode, I picked up the new CD today and it's pretty good. I'll have to give it a couple of more listens. Sounds a little dark in a good way.

Seems like everyone knows songs off Music for the Masses and Violater.

Looking forward to seeing them & the Bravery next month in Houston.

Re: Depeche Mode

Just got the new album today and it is actually pretty good. Not very many bands can come back like theses guys have without have a decent album and then come out with something with the quality of this one.

Totally agree. In fact, I think it?s so good, I?m gonna start a new thread about it.

Eventually...

I?m feeling so lazy this morning...I had this huge review in my head and now I can?t bring myself to writing it.

In short, I think you need to take the time to let this one sink in. I don?t think it?s their best album, but it?s certainly their best since "Songs Of Faith And Devotion". Some amazing songs, I only didn?t like the last one "The Darkest Star".

Oh and this baby is dark and dirty!

Re: Depeche Mode

Nothing beats:

I don?t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god?s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

The new album is like a retrospective of their sounds over the years. You get a bit of everything--from the synth/electro/pop to the industrial stuff. I'd say it's like a bit of Songs of Faith and Devition + Music for the Masses + Violator + Ultra. Gahan's voice is in top form, sounding absolutely menancing on some tracks and soaring in others. Get it

Re: Depeche Mode

glad to hear this is a good cd. too often bands try to come back strong with a new cd, and sound like they are trying too hard.

that Precious balearic mix is nice too!

Re: Depeche Mode

I too just bought the new album with the extra dvd pack. And am giving it it's initial listens, it always takes me a couple listens to really get into their cd's. I think it's been that way since I first heard them..except ETS and POT. Since I got to see the videos for those early on.

The dvd has a special making of the album portion on it, but unfortunately it's only 8 minutes long. Though I did finally get to see the video for precious, which is kinda strange.

Re: Depeche Mode

the precious (motor remix) rocks! when zabiela played it a couple of weeks ago the crowd went nuts

Re: Depeche Mode

I have to agree....Depeche Mode deserves a lot of credit for some incredible music.

I've just been getting into their stuff lately and you can really tell how influential they are on the entire electronic scene.

I can't believe how much music they have published! and so much of it is good!! truly amazing.

My fav album would be exciter!

Fuck!

The Toronto has the Ravenettes opening up. I was hoping for the Bravery.

And Playing The Angel is by far their best album since SOFAD.
