Mat Mayer's Album Reviews
The most important Depeche Mode album follwed their worst. Construction Time again was the ideal title as this was their second attempt at reconstructing the band after Vince Clarke's departure after the debut Speak and Spell. The follow up was literally a Broken Frame and painful to listen to. Construction Time Again is important because this is when the band found their sound. Samples from construction sites and edgy synths combine with Martin Gore creating some wonderful music, really finding his stride as the songwriter. An imperfect but vital album for Depeche Mode fans.
