Title: Depeche Mode continues to rock
Review: First of all, the editor who wrote the first review is incorrect--Martin did not write every song on the album. For the first time, there are three tracks written by Dave Gahan ("I Want it All," "Nothing's Impossible" and "Suffer Well"), whose song-writing abilities were demonstrated on Paper Monsters. In fact, "Suffer Well" is one of the best tracks, along with "John the Revelator" and "Precious." The album is a wonderful listen. Sadly, DM often is incorrectly labeled as an 80's band. Some of their best albums, including Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion were released in the 90's. The songs are a natural development for DM and you can hear some of the experimental work Martin has been perfecting. For example, "Lilian" is remniscent of "I Cast A Lonely Shadow from Martin's Counterfeit 2 ep. DM has outdone themselves this time.
