After a few months I heard intense album now, the initial euphoria has dissipated. It struck me as a fan of the first days of the entry into Exciter not easy, because the album was relatively tough and bulky. In addition, my first single "Dream On" was not produced durckvoll enough. And yet I have DM to pay tribute to go your own way and to be influenced neither by fans, critics or the current music scene. Which band has already established nor the courage to publish such a non-commercial music and break out of its old structures. The production of the CD may be a matter of taste, no doubt, but the Gore still a great songwriter is clear to me beyond any discussion. The quality of the songs, for me, with the exception of "Comatose", very good. In summary, I mean, the exciter is a very mature work which you either love or hate abysmally, a center does not seem to exitieren for this CD. Difficult is that listen only once is not enough, because the songs are rarely the first time in his ear. It when DM would let it rip correctly the next album would be nice. Interesting is also the Gahan next year will veröffentliches a solo album. Maybe he has got enough courage record a real rock album. We wait and see.
