Query: the emperors clothes

This album is a compilation solely glued together by a bunch of producers. The only bearable song on the entire album is Precious. DM fans seem to be deaf and blind to the fact that this band gets worse with each album release. Since Alan Wilder left the group the rhythm parts and even the catchy melodies are just GONE and now it seems never to return either.This entire album is even worse than "exiter" which was their tragedy in music making. All sounds very a tonal, no melodies , nothing catchy which you at least would expect of such great songwriters. The worst is that we know they can , but simply they refuse to use their talent in any productive way. This is not a new road to take surely. I appreciate a band experimenting but this one definately is an experiment gone wrong.Of course this album will sell shiploads and see if they care, but to me this album is the Depeche Mode's (fans )emperors clothes!
