Depeche Mode's "Playing the angel" is still fresh....



Almost 2 years after it was released, this album still has that drive. It's in my opinion their best since Violator. Stunning...

What's even more puzzling is that the Dave songs really blend with Martin Gore's tune.

I recommend...

I like it a lot too. It's MUCH better than Exciter.

Exciter is the least Depeche Modesque album ever! It's very Björkish!

It's very lame! The songs are just flat, to these ears anyway!

I bought this when it came out, but never gave it a chance. It hit me thesame same way that New Orders Waiting for the Seirens Call did. Kinda predictable. Then I heard Precious the other day, and I'll prob end up buying a used copy again. My wallet is at odds with my hasty musical judgements. neutral
