If I were a fan of the band or at least this style, I probably would have ranked the album among the great ones. But I am not, so I evaluate it from the point of view of subjective sensations and my perception of music. And even so — this is one of or possibly the best album of Depeche mode. It is saturated with hits - Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence (but for me the best of them is Policy of truth). Here there are lesser-known but no less high-quality compositions - Sweetest Perfection, Waiting for the night. Honestly speaking, there is not a single throwaway thing on the album. If you have decided to get acquainted with the band, then take this album without hesitation. It is moderately depressive, moderately thoughtful, the golden mean of DM.
