Other Depeche Mode Fans?

[bryce]

two weeks ago i was not familiar with this band so excuse my critisisms on the one cd i now own. my girlfriend absolutly loves the cd but i think it's just alright. the album is sounds of the universe. i still haven't thoroughly listened through it. just my first glance outside view.

depech mode seems like, to me, an eighties band trying to keep up with the times but that is loosing the race- especially with their singer. sorry guys. maybe if the actual melody of the words had a little more going in them, they just seem a litttle drab to me. but i haven't really analyzed the band with great scrutiny, infact i'm trying to as i right this right now. the band also has a kinda downer feel to it. kinda. no matter how upbeat the background music is the singer can't quite catch this beat and is stuck in slow world. i'm not sure if i like this.. i mean i like varying parts in the music but i think the melodicity of the vocals much match the overall beat of the song. but thats just me. all the songs kinda make me feel drab like something horrible has just happened and i'm recovering from it.

sorry, my opinion of the band is negative to medioker at best. :frown:
