Negative Positive
Title: The transition album.
Review: A Broken Frame is probably Depeche Mode's least known album. It is their second album as a group and also a transition album from their boppy Speak and Spell to the dark electronic gloom that would follow and characterize the band's unique style. At this time in DM's career the band was in a fragile state as the departure of band member Vince Clark left the band on limbo. For this album there were only three member and member Martin Gore assumed the role of songwriter for the group.Even though A Broken Frame spawned the fantastic track "See You",there aren't really any tracks that stand out. This is a pretty mellow album, but with great DM style instrumentation.This is not an album to dance to or with many fast tracks. The music is best enjoyed to just listen and visualize.
