Mat Mayer's Album Reviews
This is a terrible album. There are two tracks which may of made it onto later albums, maybe. This is only relevant for diehard fans of the band who want to hear how the band started. This was the first album after lead songwriter Vince Clarke left. Martin Gore took over writing duties and really struggled. The tinny, thin electronic pop sound is below par in every way. It is almost an irrelevant album, except for the two half decent songs. The band really found their feet with their next album (Construction Time Again) and that is where I consider the band really begun (except Just Can't Get Enough of course from the first album).
