Just cool, amazing album.

I freaking hate this band and any other of those goofy synth rock Richard Blade douche bags that passed around nothing but crap in the 80s. Thank God for Sonic Youth, the Pixies and the Mary Chain. This genre should have never made a comeback. Fortunately it was so obnoxious that the 90s is making an early comeback. Shoegaze killed synth and that's why it's my favorite genre. This was glorified garbage and nobody took it seriously. If they're so dark and gloomy they should have ended it all in their heyday and given up on this bullshit that passes of as music.

I'm really dissapointed. sounds like adults trying to tell what it's like being a teenager, they've simply lost it.
Brooke O. gave it a4:
Overrated! "Precious" is there best track in a long time, but, past that, not much else on here to enjoy. I wish they would either hook back up w Alan or call it quits. DM are no longer relevent to anything or anyone, save themselves and their bank account.
Oskar S gave it a10:
It made me feel emotions that I haven´t felt since 1990. Great collection of addictive songs..
Romascu A gave it a10:

This album is dark and melodic. Best album since Songs of Faith and Devotion
