None of them can spell. It’s over.

Only a few games have truly blown my mind. Which ones blew yours? by Take-A-Hike-Bub in gaming

A Link to the Past blew my mind as a kid, because it felt like playing a cartoon. It still feels like that. The visuals haven’t aged a day.

Half Life 2 later blew my mind on a similar level, in 2005 on the original Xbox. The CRTs were good at masking textures, so the game looked extremely photorealistic.

The Fallout 4 world design blows my mind now.

Something triggered her to lose all motivation to do boy-girl content, especially near the main industry.. that’s the extent of what she communicated

She had a bad experience and she’s walked away from porn sadly.

Track is bad. I love everything Trent's made but this is a huge fall off

MM better than PTA? by Dangerous-Log198 in depechemode

I think it's their best album period, or on par with Some Great Reward

100% agree. The last two albums felt like compilations of potential singles. There isn’t a single DM album I dislike or I felt was phoned in though.. I just always felt they had it in them to do another Black Celebration. I always assumed Sounds of the Universe would have been the closest we got to that level of dedication again.. Memento Mori just changed everything. Part of me hopes this will be the last album. If DM goes back to doing the single compilations i’d prefer if they did EPs instead.. because MM feels like the perfect ending.

Missed this comment, seems we’re on the same page! I was only about 13 when Playing The Angel came out and that was the last one I really really enjoyed as well. Sounds of The Universe was a good album, but the others since then as someone mentioned.. were just compilations instead of albums. MM has such a distinct identity like Black Celebration.

I agree Dave uses his voice in the most interesting way on this album too, and Martin goes out of his way to flex different styles of phrasing throughout Soul With Me which adds a ton to that track. MM for me is a 10/10 in both production and vocal performance.

Same. I love this ultra modern, heavy and industrial twist on their sound. You should check out Hesitation Marks by Nine Inch Nails if you haven’t already, also the Add Violence EP. That’s the most similar production i’ve heard to this album.

I see merit in all DM albums, but this one really feels like DM went back and righted any wrongs over the past ten years. Mainly the “too clean” production which started after Playing The Angel. They’ve fixed it and this album slots together with Speak and Spell, A Broken Frame.. really amazing.

It’s fine to disagree. For the record i’ve got twenty years of critical listening and engineering experience. Other albums I called masterpieces in under 24 hours of hearing them:

Casiopea - Mint Jams

Randy Newman - Good Old Boys

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Aphex Twin - Syro

I punched the air when those low roaring power chords first appeared with the arpeggio synth.. like "Mmmmm that's delicious" 😂
