The opener shows the disunity of DM at that time (although it is likely to go to Gahan's heroin addiction in the song most likely) in all his furious despair. And even though it might with 'The Love Thieves' and 'Insight' for a long time, two weaker Gore songs are here, so the rest has quite a lot to offer. 'Home' is again one of those irresistible large dm ballads that are better every time you hear; 'Useless' has (perhaps simply due to the time - Kruder and Dorfmeister have remixed this song then also still) despite the chillout sounds a very strong melody and 'It's No Good' belongs anyway at the best DM songs ever. 'Sister Of Night' shows Gahan's voice fragile and expressive than ever and 'The Bottom Line' is his - through the use of a steel guitar - country pretending appearance also something new in dm canon.
You can tell the album sound-wise quite that producer Tim Simenon the gap the Alan Wilder left could not quite close, because some songs sound almost minimalistic, but in expression and atmosphere of this album is certainly as close as 'Songs Of Faith', only that here no more fights, but all lick their wounds. Also noteworthy is the use of real drums and in turn increased use of guitars. An album that did not like the critics (what do they know, then!), But that enormously increases with time (even to her heart), and documenting the end point of a long and adventurous 18-year journey of 3 20th guys precisely again well ended, but from which you brought so many injury.
