I've always had a soft spot for DM, but I wasn't expecting much from
this album, as I haven't liked much that they've done since Violator.
Their last album was especially bad (I can't even remember what it
was called - I downloaded it, and promptly deleted it after a single listen).
I was really surprised by Playing The Angel, though. It's a fantastic
record, on par with Violator and Black Celebration. Even Martin's
songs to make the girls cry aren't too bad this time around. :)
