Since the early days I know Depeche Mode - I liked it immediately. There has never been comparable styles (except maybe "Tears for Fears"), and how these guys have remained true to their style continuously until today and write this fantastic poetry itself, is class. The quality has improved and especially with this album, one is literally katapulitiert in moods (not negative), you might not expect. Very sensitive pieces plus a little harder in contrast High Tech Sounds. So completely new territory for ears accustomed only charts. However, it does not take long until one has housed Depeche Mode as a favorite in the circle because the albums are so varied that there is something for every taste. And: The more you hear it - the more you love it! My favorite song is "In Your Room", you will be addicted to this perfected celestial sounds! Can only say: go for it!
