I think 1969 is the only good song on this thing lol

Needless to say, it didn't grow on me. Ah well
This is good, I think. I like it better than War of the Roses, maybe even better than Childhood's End. I tend to like the idea of Depeche Mode better than actually listening to them, and this album is a pretty good realization of what a particular idea of Depeche Mode is like. The lyrics are every bit as pretentious as you could ask for.

I'm really enjoying having no idea who these people are or why they did this album.

New EP out this week, featuring two outtakes and an incredible cover of "The Power of Love"

Loving this album. Happened to pick it up and had no idea what to expect - I only have the first three LPs. Have since got the ep mentioned above as well.

It's great. I'm a little dismayed to discover from this thread that it's apparently unique in their catalogue, I was looking forward to more heavy synth-pop

This album of theirs isn't synth-pop really but anyone who hasn't heard it seriously needs to:

Perdition City is kind of synth-pop
― imago, Saturday, 1 September 2018 10:30 (five years ago) link
Yeah I think you're in a better location if you're a fan from the "end" rather than the beginning (or of course one can love all of it). Despite their reputation for changing their style every album, the second part of their career is aesthetically consistent. Perdition City is amazing, and I had every reason to think I'd grow out of it, having discovered it 14 years ago.

Thanks for the recommendations

Just got Perdition City. Great stuff. Blood Inside is on its way. I'm also tempted by what I've seen/ heard of the Norwegian National Opera live CD / DVD

Nattens Madrigal is the rare album that actually lives up to the hyperbole in that it really does sound like getting your eardrums blasted by a power sander
if I listen to it at a decent volume my ears ring for a while after. so I'm kinda scared to listen to it unless I turn the volume down in which case what's the point?

Those high frequencies!

Getting into Blood Inside. Can't get my home surveillance device to recognize when I'm asking to play this band.

New song "Russian Doll" very much in the same mode as Julius Caesar. Anyone know if this is a one-off?

i like the song! a little more discursive than the julius caesar stuff but maybe that's good! the video is awesome
