In my opinion, "remix" is a misused term; still, I said it—it could be an album for enthusiasts, not a true new record. However, it's worth at least a listen.

guessed it. good job heaven in black

I'm sorry to contradict you, but I find them boring and soulless. They sound good, no doubt about it, but I don't know, I managed to listen to this album once. 3 out of respect, because it's the only one I know, but I've been told it's definitely among the best. And then because the genre is by far my favorite. But I can't give more than that.

I, on the other hand, round up excessively, even though in hindsight I must admit that I too belong to the group of those who do not enjoy hyper-melancholic ballads like I want to know. Much better the previous IV, where there is the usual ballad (waiting for a girl like you, in my opinion better) but there is more compositional depth. Of this album, I particularly appreciate that was yesterday and love in vain. Anyway, Lou Gramm was and remains a top-notch vocalist.

never bought, I don't even know why. definitely a fitting summary of nearly ten years of a career in exceptional crescendo. I was struck by Depeche Mode (whom I knew from the "Clarkian" album and didn’t exactly thrill me) listening to Leave in Silence: A Broken Frame opens with a masterpiece that immediately makes it clear that the genius's farewell won’t herald collapses, but rather... M.L. Gore is equally genius, Davide Ganni takes his rightful place in the limelight, and Depeche Mode becomes a true band. here, because I consider it important for the future of the band, perhaps if 101 included Leave in Silence I would have bought it. Great review.

I liked the review; it's concise and written in decent Italian. Well done. I can't comment on Arena, as I've only heard bits and pieces and have never decided to buy anything, perhaps due to the low regard I have for the poor setter (pardon, pointer), while, for instance, I appreciate Nolan. I'll try to delve deeper.

Well, I've read a lot worse. Of course, you don't say much; calling Fish's lyrics (the greatest poet of the last 25 years) depressing seems a bit off to me (even if you meant pessimistic or depressed, I don't know). Sure, I can barely tolerate the reference to prog metal. But that’s fine. And then I have some doubts about the mastery of the instrumental parts: a terrible drummer (who was promptly replaced after this album), and promising bass-keys-guitar, but not yet at their peak (just listen to a concert by the current Marillion, especially Trewavas and DIO Rothery, who have grown incredibly since then, even if no one cares about them anymore). Anyway, it’s perhaps the album I've loved the most in the last 25 years, hence I can't go below 5 stars, even if today I see some flaws in it. But what am I writing for? Probably, given the age of this review, both the author and all the commentators have been dead for a long time (in terms of frequenting Debaser). So here I am once more.....................

@KHRISHNA: nice aphorism, but what the heck does it have to do with anything?

I don't know the album, but honestly, I'm very intrigued; I've always wanted to explore the mkIII era more deeply. I'm a big fan of Coverdale and Hughes.

Indeed, the link doesn't work; you need to remove the space between rel and ated (related) and restore the word watch. Great piece anyway. And I confirm the positive review for the two albums from the 80s.
