When you come back with a less rank handle, I might respond more fully. What are you, 13? Maybe 15?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Not if taken as a sequence: do this, then do that.
He (?) must be a Depeche fan: http://www.music-discussion.com/showthre...pringsteen and they are not a bad band to follow (if you like what they do; I don't): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode << They have survived 35 years and sold 100 million units, having survived all manner of personal difficulties and intense internal turmoil Their Site: http://www.depechemode.com/

I used to love Depeche Mode back in the 1980s,even own a few of their albums on cassette(the first four) and also a couple more on cd....
also own lots of their singles from back in the day(about 20 of them I guess)....

IMO, their music sounds dated,boring,flat and without soul/feel to me now....
the exceptions being "people are people", "just cant get enough" and "blasphemous rumours"....the rest,i can do without.

I only ever bought one album - Music for the Masses and I was thoroughly disappointed. Gave it away and never bought another DM album.
