As an avid Depeche Mode listener, I went into this Album fully anticipating putting "Personal Jesus"or "Enjoy the Silence" as my 'Best Song'. However, I was absolutely captivated by the opening track, "World in My Eyes", a track I've never heard before. It's so ... bizarrely good. The composition is risky, yet hits such impressive marks of quality, that really sets the standard for the rest of the album.
The Album ebbs & flows into itself really well, dominating an almost unprecedented sound of Synth-Pop, mixed in with some brief alternative rock. It's such an interesting take on Electronic music, and it's gotta be one of the most Metrosexual sounding things in history.
I'm really glad I got to hear this Album, but I had no idea it came out in the early 90's! Depeche Mode sounds unbelievably 80's to me! Still, would it really be a an 80's event without Depeche Mode blasting on the nearest boombox, while the crowd shuffles around in sweaty leather outfits and 'Flock o' Seagulls' haircuts?
Nope!
