The biggest clue dropped by the band prior to its release was a quote from dave gahan who said that being in depeche mode is better than it has been in 15.
Make no mistake playing the angel is not depeche mode s best and wil never beat violator music for the masses or black celebration off the throne but it s a powerful album from a band that has been around for almost 30 years and still sounds impressive.
It s like going back in time.
