Ale87 Banned

I didn’t understand the hit of the very famous one; I realize that this review isn’t the best, but it’s precisely these unknown albums that are the hardest to review since the information I had was practically nonexistent. I really put my all into it.

The vote!

While reading the booklet of "The Singles 81-85" (Depeche Mode), I noticed that the commentary for the song "Blasphemous Rumors" is entrusted to Neil Tennant!

Once again, Madonna has demonstrated her cleverness by recycling a sound that's 25 years old and adapting it to the 2000s. The album itself isn't bad, but it doesn't represent anything revolutionary (as many believe). I’d give the record a 3.5, but I'll round it down.

Well! I would give this album a 2; it's a slight step forward compared to Exciter, but the real Depeche Mode were different.

To respond to Iside, I know that PSB did a cover of "Hallo Space Boy" included in the 1997 live VHS, but I don't think this track has ever been included in a studio album or a best of. As for me, I haven't seen the Bowie video yet, but I will take care of it.

My suspicions are well-founded; nowadays everyone can make music. I might as well put my dog in front of the console to mix a few tracks—he'll surely have more talent than a spoiled girl like this bitch.

The Durans are nothing more than a boy band, and they even have the audacity to compare Wild Boys to Paninaro by the PSB. The only album I can tolerate is Liberty, so you can imagine what I think of their other records.

Having listened to all the NO albums, what struck me the most is definitely Low Life, as it navigates freely between different musical formulas (The perfect kiss, Sunrise, Elegia). Despite this, the album flows very smoothly; I consider it superior to Power, Corruption & Lies and Technique, as the '83 album heavily relies on drum machines and programming, almost too obviously underscoring the change the band underwent (still, beautiful tracks like 5 8 6 and Blue Monday). The '89 album rests on several groundbreaking tracks, interspersed with dull filler songs (in the style of Depeche Mode). P.S.: The review is well done, but you forgot to mention that the album was recorded in just one night, amidst heavy drug use (you can tell from the "handmade" nature of the recording, the background voices at the beginning of This Time of Night, and Sumner's "forced" vocal delivery).
