music is very weak, and boring, and slow. yes, it is their 13th album, but I agree they released it only to go on tour. Same with Spirit.

Ah see, to each their own: SOTU is probably top 3 for me! Along with Ultra and Violator.

Me before this album: "DM always deliver original song titles, guys, Dream On and Home are just the exceptions". DM: "ANGEL HEAVEN SLOW BROKEN ALONE GOODBYE!1!"

Last week i was listening this album with my wife, it was first listening after few months. it suprised me hw weak it is. I mean there are few gems like angel, sooth my soul, or four bonus tracks, but the are also some fillers (secret to the world is painfull to listen) and as a whole it just doesn't work. It's sad because it could be really solid album. Situation is similar to SOTU, when best song (ghost) was just a bside.

Can't say I like the retro synth on this, but it seems like it's a throwback album for people that are bigger fans of the '80s material than '90s Depeche Mode fans. Definitely a respectable album, but I'm holding out hope for an album between modern and retro...it's why Playing the Angel was great.

Worst Depeche Mode album. :/ [5] But that doesn't mean it's a bad record, by any means.

Считаю, что для группы с таких стажем, альбом такого уровня -- это прорыв! :) I think for such a longlasting band with a great and big back catalogue when it is already hard to find something new to write and sing about, this album is a big, big breakthrough! This albums is just full of emotion and energy, it truly has that "nerve" David is singing about in one of the songs. In terms of Depeche Mode style/work this album is not as experimental as lets us say "Ultra" or "Exciter" but it finally has that real "depeche-modeness" they were probably lacking for quite a while. An album worth listening!

Ultra=PTA>Exciter>Delta>SOTU. Welcome To My World, Broken and Soft Touch ruin this amazing album. Delete these tracks, reconstruct tracklist (Angel=> Should Be Higher => Universe => Soothe My Soul => Secret => Alone => Child Inside => Heaven => Slow => Goodbye) and discover how amazing this one could be.

Better than Exciter, better than Sounds of the Universe, slighty under Playing the Angel. And miles away from Ultra, but still good album with stunning production.

I needed to listen to the whole album 4 or 5 times to really get into it, but it was worth it. A real grower for me. [2] 4/5
