I am a big Depeche Mode fan and for me personally they are gods! For every fan this cd is a must have anyway and for all the rest who think they are just some 80`s dance band aswell.
Playing the angel shows they are so much more! It`s diverse, dark but not depressing, kind of bittersweet, futuristic but in a good way, melodic, profound, raw on one side, soft on the other, overall it rocks!
In my opinion this is one of their best cd`s. For me it`s peaks are A pain that I`m used to and Nothing`s impossible (Dave Gahan`s masterpiece if you ask me) but I could actually write down all the titles as I love them all in different ways, well except the instrumental Introspectre because it just isn`t anything special, it`s like a hole filler, I would prefer one more song insted of it.
Words are not enough to describe this music, you have to hear it for yourself and I`d say it`s definitely worth hearing it!
