Title: new convert
Review: i never really "got" this band--too many synthy patches, i.e. not enough guitars, and fey vox that seemed offputting and, at times, silly. not till this release, at least. sure i've heard the hits down the years. nevertheless, this is a very impressive CD: if only "precious" and "Oh Lilian" were on it, it'd be a delicious treat. dark dancey majestic beauty throughout. "precious" is a guitar triumph--on a par with some of New Order's prettiest numbers. i don't quite get why "john the revelator" is a single--it's a goth stomp that doesn't seem very memorable. i'll have to listen to it again, natch. with THE CURE, THEBLACK WATCH, and NEW ORDER, DM is my new favorite band--that's really weird!
