This time out, Depeche Mode offer up a mellow batch of songs that aren't great, but they aren't bad. "The Sweetest Condition" appears to be a sequel to "The Sweetest Perfection" from "Violator" but "Exciter" is not as good as that cd is. It seems the band is retreading on songs like "Dream On" and "The Dead Of Night" because I found myself reminded songs from "Ultra" and "Songs Of Faith And Devotion". Staunch Depeche Mode fans will probably not be disappointed and new fans may show some interest, but where did the hooks and melodies go? Depeche Mode used to turn out some memorable songs and now with "Exciter" it seems that spirit is lost. Dave Gahan's voice has never sounded better but where are the memorable songs? Is this the same band that gave us "I Just Can't Get Enough", "People Are People", "Personal Jesus", "Somebody" and "It's No Good"?
