Our Review

Twenty-five years and 11 studio albums and Depeche Mode still matters. Once underground/alternative masters of the dark end of the synth-pop dance floor, DM is now one of the world’s most successful electronically engineered groups. While the music world has caught up to their technologically driven impulses, it hasn’t learned how to successfully replicate the human ingenuity that powers them. You still need the trio of Gore, Gahan, and Fletcher to run the program. Playing the Angel, the follow-up to their 2001 studio release Exciter, delivers all the expectant drama that made the band favorites of introverted malcontents for three decades. Producer Ben Hiller (Blur, Doves), who admitted to not being a fan of the band’s music before working with them, pushes the group up a few beats to give them a newfound sense of urgency (“A Pain That I’m Used To,” “John the Revelator”), but the trio still drapes their crestfallen images in beautiful electronic hues (“Precious”). Dave Gahan aids main songwriter Martin Gore with three tracks of his own that fit snugly within the group’s internal angst. No amount of worldly success can temper this group’s alluring dark side.

Customer Reviews

Not their best (3 stars)
Don't get me wrong here, I'm a huge DM fan. I've gone to every concert since Violator (was too young for any before), and I have every CD released, including singles, collection and remixes. There are 4 really great songs on this albumn. My favorite is "Nothing's Impossible" It really has that Music for the Masses/Black Celebration sound to it. Precious is probably the most marketable song and I can see why they chose to releas

DM has finally refound themselves (3 stars)
I have been a long long time fan of DM. I loved all their earlier music, and went and saw my first DM show during the Violator tour. After Violator, I felt DM never really captured the magic from their previous material. With exception of "Walking in my Shoes" and a few others. With this new album, I must say I really like what DM has done, they have gone back to the sound that made them what they are today. Everything to from

Pain & Suffering at various tempo's indeed. (1 star)
From the single 'Precious', my hopes were high. I hadn't liked a single thing from DM since 'Violator' which was a phenomenal effort. From the first distorted note of 'Playing The Angel', I was appauled. I feel cheated, disgusted, and terribly misled. How can all these reviews be so positive about a CD that is so terribly produced? Who paid all these reviewers to give it glowing remarks? There is not a single track on this album worthy
