I'm not sure how Depeche Mode continues to stay relevant after 30 years (29 at the time time of the release) and twelve albums, but they do and in a very big way (although they certainly haven't been without friction). This is another solid effort by the boys from Essex and if you haven't seen the video for Wrong then you are missing out. This album brings back a little something darker that certainly pleases a large portion of the DM audience. Production and flow as always are tight and I'm glad that in this day an age of people largely listening to music digitally that Depeche Mode still treats us with a short and sweet secret track at the end of the album. Also, really nice cover art by Anton Corbijn. Favorite Tracks: Wrong, Fragile Tension, In Sympathy, Peace, and Jezebel
