I think it's crap. The musical production is solid, but wtf is up with the lyrical content? and dave gahan needs to remember who he is....he doesn't have soul...he's got melancholy (sp?) -- even his darker moments are cliche. all the strained singing and sliding notes in attempt to mimic soul doesn't work for him at all. imho. I also wonder how much MG had to do with the lyrics. light the flame.
