Whether this album is really yield no hit has, yet to be seen. The next single "Soothe My Soul" the odds are at least not so bad and otherwise I would keep one or the other Überrschungserfolg quite possible. However, the real music lover knows, of course, well aware that a good song can be exciting, even if he is not permanently represented on the radio or supermarket. Just where it is "experimental", I like the music very well ("Welcome to my World", "My Little Universe") and also written by Dave pieces fit much better into the overall picture, as this is still in "Playing The Angel "or" Sounds Of The Universe "was the case. Martin Gore still writes brilliant songs, which is indisputable - whether with or without chorus (in the past there was the way repeatedly songs of Martin, who also had no real chorus and yet were very successful - I must in this context only at times "Behind the Wheel", "I Feel You" or "Condemnation" remember).
Fans who were perhaps a little disappointed in the two previous albums, or have even toyed with the idea, completely write off the band should listen to the disc in any case absolutely (best through headphones). You will notice that Depeche Mode still can surprise you with a fascinating, entertaining music and the power curve clearly again goes up.
