Depeche Mode: Sounds Of The Universe

This album has been on my review pending list for over a month now, but every-time I make the effort to listen to it, I can’t really think of much to say about it. There’s not a lot to get excited about and conversely there’s nothing worth getting too upset over, or ranting about as I am occasionally prone to do. The one track that retained a few reminders of their heyday (Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion), is “Wrong”, but now I’ve written this short review of it, I can’t really envisage myself revisiting it that often. If you’re a dyed-in-the-wool Depeche Mode fan than I’m sure you’ll like it, if not, this is probably not the album that will change your mind.
