I haven't listened to this since the week it came out

not because it's a bad record or anything, I think it's just one of those rare cases where I'm so overwhelmed there's a new record by a band I love that I only want to listen to it in the best circumstances possible or something



highlights at this time are Going Nowhere, Scum, You Move, & Fail

This is alright so far, but I have the feeling it's not gonna blow me away.

The first couple of tracks were alright, but the last thing I wanted to hear was a Donald Trump/Brexit concept album. Next time stick with your usual high-brow subjects such as homoerotic S&M and preying on 15 year olds.

How is this? I really like Violator and Ultra, but I haven't heard anything else from these guys.

It comes more after the style of Ultra than Violator and it has its moments, but also its share of rather generic tracks. You can check it out if you want to, it definitely won't hurt, but if you want to hear some top quality material in the style of the two albums you mentioned, I recommend Songs of Faith and Devotion. It was released between Violator and Ultra and that shows.

If you want to dig deeper into their older stuff, I recommend Black Celebration which has a very different feel from all of their other stuff but is definitely one of their most noteworthy albums both in style and quality.

Music for the Masses is more in the likes of Violator, but not as fully developed as that one.

It's an album that you put on and flows nicely in the background, pleasant and relaxing but it can feel quite inoffensive. As a whole I may place this above both DM and SotU (same ratings though, comparing highlights and all), but it just pales in front of PtA. My picks are: Eternal, Poison Heart, So Much Love

PtA is a modern classic imo. It's the new standard that they need to meet or exceed.

I also agree this is better than DM and SotU overall. At least, I think so

Completely agree

Top 4 DM record for me



and ONEPUNCHMAN I'm with Rik on checking out Songs of Faith & Devotion next

after that, anything from '86 onward is fair game pretty much

I don't listen to this much anymore but the first half of the record is still really well done. Definitely gets my political adrenaline going.

I don't feel like this falls off, there's a couple of duds for me in the middle (Eternal is an alright song on its own but after Cover Me, kind of a skipper)



3 of my favs from this are the 3 last songs

First f-bomb on a DM record?

I believe it is the first yeah. Song would have been perfectly fine without it

Eternal could be my favorite here haha, as a big fan of gothy DM. Also So Much Love brings me back to A Question of Time which is nice
