Depeche Mode - Exciter | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and ... (0 words)
Forever pushing back boundaries, their album releases, though few and far between these days, have been memorable occasions and mark their adaption and musical evolution.
Exciter is a good, strong album, though in the Depeche Mode context it is easy to criticise it because the previous standards have been so high.
Even so, it is sure to add to the 50 million albums they have sold since 1981, and be a great pre-cursor to the tour they are due to embark upon later this year.
Recensioni Exciter (3922 words)
Exciter is a bold move for Depeche Mode, who've finally extricated themselves from their six-year creative rut.
Exciter, its first studio outing in four years, is at once the earthiest and most futuristic song cycle the group has released yet, folding acoustic and electronic orchestration into gorgeous sonic landscapes.
EXCITER is a bonus to those who thought that maybe the pressures of creative change, fame, time and a madly fashionable world meant that Depeche's crazy journey into the night was over.
