Martin Gore and company's fourth album(i own the first four plus 'violator')...
these guys have released thirteen studio albums, all of which have made the UK top 10...a pretty impressive achievement IMO.
this albm is true to their electronic sounds...the lyrics are really concise also...
this is a typical Mode album in another way, they all rate about the same,ie:not much that is bad, mostly good tracks, but the great songs are few and far between for me to call these guys great songwriters...
all up a good album....
