Music for (?) What (?) Masses (?)

As a longtime fan of Depeche Mode is completely escaped me all these years, that this can sound so cheerful, and that their music, to say it bluntly to say almost attributable to the genre "Happy-Sound" is. Mir has DM's work mainly developed rather than dark and gloomy .. Or has anyone here any misunderstood something?

"Depeche Ambros: Music for the masses" - what should you keep it?
Band name, album title and cover design leave great hope, but when listening to this concoction explodes all hope like a soap bubble. The thin liquid pilot light DM Sound can already after the first few bars advent compassion, while performance and vocals come across as too uneigenständig. Too often attempts vocally as close as possible to the original.
For a few simple synth chords with regelmäßen DM quotations were invariably known Austropop title who could keep his day long in the Austrian charts, verwurstet charts fit. Songs like "Fürstenfeld", "Schifoan", "Da Hofa", "Tweaks's Mi" or "joe show" are as mercilessly shot by Wolf.

Would Mr Gahan and Gore have the time to say something about it, or they would probably vomit on spot?

Neither I want to belittle the talents of four young men from Depeche Ambros disdainfully, nor throw the baby out with the bath water and the idea of ​​Austro-classics to transport by synth sounds into the 21st century, from the outset described as bad.
A few months longer in the rehearsal room would have provided time tonal subtleties band own characteristics and a sound that DM is more appropriate to work out. A more subtle choice of songs, maybe a few less known would also have been beneficial. Finally, you could have been much more courageous vocally to better differentiate from the original. In particular, the aforementioned cheerful note in song, the more common inn-mood, nothing lost. Or just not called Depeche Ambros, because then the expectation would be quite different.

In sum seen I highly doubt that this is a product for the masses. Rather, I assume that you would have been successful, they would have taken an x-arbitrary winter landscape as a cover and slightly used instead of the band name and the album title meaning "Après Ski Huts Hits". Thus, the potential clientele would probably have been easier to reach, "Music for the Masses". So much only as a tip on the edge.

Perhaps we should with Depeche Ambros just another 3-day hype that once may briefly sniff Charts air, are created. If is "Music for the Masses" to be understood as "fun", I must confess that, unfortunately, I here rather the laughter has passed; although I normally dispose a healthy dose of humor. Sorry, but for the band Depeche Mode, the respective original interpreter of songs and all of their fans, this album is a real insult !.
