I haven’t been able to really get into the last few Depeche Mode albums. They’ve been good, but not good enough to fully capture my attention. Playing the Angel came as a bit of a surprise because of that. It’s a bit darker, a bit more aggressive and absolutely amazing. I’ve probably heard this album 200 times now and it just doesn’t get old. It seems there’s always more to hear within the complex tapestries of electronics and vocal harmonies that make up the songs. Music that can hold my attention for that long is rare and hopefully future Depeche Mode releases are equally as good.
