Among the covers, Depeche Mode take the boldest approach, draping a bubbling, cybergoth energy over Buffy Sainte-Marie’s 1960s protest song ‘Universal Soldier’, a scathing deconstruction of conflict.
In Your Room is the best song in the entire Depeche Mode discography. A masterpiece!
This album is beautiful musically, but unfortunately the vocals are very barren and sound common, like hundreds of similar ones. With a better vocalist, this album could go down in history. Unused potential
I was hoping that producer James Ford, after breathing new life into Depeche Mode and helping them create a really good album (Memento Mori), would repeat it with Pet Shop Boys, but I'm disappointed with this album. The producer is important, but what is more important are good songs; unfortunately, the material provided by Pet Shop Boys on this album is weak.
