“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit Depeche Mode’s lush and electronic 1997 album, a bridge between the increasing ambition of their early years and the easy confidence of their later ones.”

“**💭 Thoughts:** I’m sorry, but this album is overrated. I don’t understand why it’s so praised, because to me, the dark wave elements do not work in the album’s favour. It’s boring and unenjoyable, and I’m only ever going to revisit the first track. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Never Let Me Down Again 🔵🥇 2.) The Things You Said 🟠 3.) Strangelove 🟢🥈 4.) Sacred 🟠 5.) Little 15 🟡 6.) Behind the Wheel 🟠 7.) I Want You Now 🟠 8.) To Have and to Hold 🟠 9.) Nothing 🟡🥉 10.) Pimpf 🔴 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”
