First impression Review
Depeche Mode - Sounds of the Universe C+
I can't help but think that Sounds of the Universe sounds a little complacent compared to their last album, 2005's Playing the Angel. That album had a sense of urgency and tracks that stood out immediately. Songs like "hole to feed" and "peace" from Universe sound watered down and would be more at home as B-side tracks.
Hopefully it will grow on me with more listens. So far my favorite tracks are: "wrong", "fragile tension", "miles away/the truth is", and "corrupt".
