Re: Depeche Mode - Sounds of the Universe
Just had a listen - hey, it's pretty good!
DM albums are always sort of a mixed bag for me- a few proto-electro tracks i love, a couple harmless, but forgettable synth-pop tunes, and a few ballads or otherwise less-inspirational cuts i can do without. "Sounds of the Universe" is true to form in consideration of their back catalog, but shifts the balance towards the aspects of the Mode that i find catchy - dark lyrics, simple synth hooks, layers of countermelody, but not too many. Some reviews have found this uneven, with the band losing the point in the latter songs. For me, it's all on an even keel (except for the ballads that i skip!), and certainly sounds current but distinctively Mode. Fave trax: 2. Hole To Feed 3. Wrong 4. Fragile Tension 10. Perfect 13. Corrupt

Re: Depeche Mode - Sounds of the Universe
Depeche Mode had their warm-up show on the 6th in Luxembourg. Setlist per the DM message boards seemed pretty good to me. Including a few great surprises.
Plenty of youtube vids out there. Jason Last edited by Troy McClure; 05-08-2009 at 12:00 AM. |
