    These songs show him in a newly redemptive prime, and will satisfy both short and long term devotees.
  2. Observer Music Monthly
    80
    This kind of electro-glam was acceptable in the Eighties, and Hourglass proves that it still is.
  3. Mojo
    60
    Hourglass plays the "I, an artist" card with equal earnestness, a collection of electronic songs that mix dungeon-master sexual predation with angst-ridden introspection. [Nov 2007, p.104]

    the worst thing an artist can do is listen to the critics opinions. for if they had the talent they wouldn't be making a living off judging others. i praise Dave for a job well done, you have the voice and talent, and a handsome performer! Keep up the good work, I also hope Depeche Mode will get together for another tour sometime.… Expand
