It was an album with dark tones and once again dark as in the past, it makes you contemplate suicide for a few minutes, then you regain your senses and say.... the Depeche are still here. "Precious" is a mature piece, which talks about regret, and hope almost suffocated, but not dead.

Without much astonishment, we move to the following and more convincing John The Revelator, where we magically go back in time, to the periods of Violator or even Music For The Masses. This comeback can never be compared to gems like Violator or Songs Of Faith And Devotion, perhaps it’s even a tad below Ultra, but the three survivors still have something to say.

Once the CD was put in the CD player, I shut up (which for some is really an event...). It’s rough, dirty just right (probably the hard covers from various Manson types added a bit of spice)...
