Title: A true Depeche Mode fan could only appreciate...
Review: So, when did it become against the law to change? If a band or solo artist tries anything outside of what was once commercially acceptable, people hate. But if they re-run the same beat over and over again, people hate.As a DM fan for over 15 years, I can say that yes, originally, I wasn't feeling this CD. I had high expectations and was hoping for yet another Violator or possibly Music for the Masses, but Playing the Angel is great on its own merits.I think the people who are writing negative reviews are those that were only into DM based on their singles, on not on their albums as a whole.Playing the Angel is more along the lines of Songs of Faith and Devotion for me with the same dark undertones and creative lyrics.For those true DM fans out there... buy this CD. You'll enjoy it's sound and by the way, Dave Gahan's voice has never sounded better.
