Query: Depeche on the decline

Ok Ill admit it,for me Depeche Mode are and always will be a synth pop band. For them electric guitar/organic instruments simply don't work. And imo Depeche Mode realise this as they've proven with their latest return to their synth roots with Exciter. Ive given this 2 stars as it's still DM and has some pure electronica but I simply can't & will not tolerate electric guitars on their records..It's like when Neil Young went 'techno!?! Simply put if you want the REAL DM get everything pre & including Violator,ignore this & especially Ultra as they are travesties. Especially what I consider DMs peak,Construction Time Again & Some Great Reward,two unmitigated synth pop masterpieces. Peace!
