I think he needs to get off this trip he's on...Man to me Dave sounds a bit pissed off for no real reason... Him and Martin need to go bowling or something, get thier shit back together before all hell breaks loose.... =( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
honestly, i hope martin does not allow dave to be involved in the songwriting too much. paper monsters is kinda crappy to me. if that means dm split, then be it. i'm sure their best time is behind them anyway... after songs of faith and devotion it's been all downhill. |

i miss alan... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

shit, i would say keep things like they are! i bought paper monsters, and it sucked a big one. the only memorable track was dirty sticky floor, and even that sounded like something that i would have scrapped if i was him. anyhow, i have always wondered this: what exactly was alan's role in things when he was in the band? i thought that martin gore wrote everything, but people make a huge deal out of that guy...and i'll admit, recoil is pretty kick ass at times. |
||||||||

|
Mode dont need Alan. He co-wrote a lot of stuff but Martin Gore writes some excellent stuff. I always treat the Mode albums as the last one from them - there is always some shit going around :) |

i hear ya. i thought it would be all over with ultra -- and i thought to myself, well thats a decent one to go out with...then came exciter.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh? i thought paper monsters was pretty good, hidden houses, bottle living and teh last track are excelent. I didn't think much of it at first but its a real grower. |
||||||||
|
|

it's not for the songwriting i want alan back. martin could probably handle that himself. from what i know, alan worked mostly with "soundscapes" and arrangements. rumours say alan actually finished the work on "songs of faith and devotion" himself while the others went on vacation right after the recording sessions were done. btw... does anyone know what alan is up to right now? it doesn't say much on recoil.co.uk. |

I say close down Depeche Mode... it's time now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree... it would be good timing to split the band now. rather than trying to make another, presumably, crap album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think thats a bit harsh, Exciter proves they can still make great albums and it would be interesting to see how it would turn out with Dave Gahan having more of an influence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, maybe i was exaggerating a bit there. exciter is not that bad actually... but still their worst album, imho. i'm not saying speak & spell and a broken frame are great albums, but they still have some good tracks and lots of charm in a way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO said it ain't so |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I don't think Martin Gore would risk fucking up what he have achived with Depeche Mode by letting Dave in on the songwriting...not by this stage.... Worst case scenario would be if Martin quit and the rest of them went on as Depeche Mode :D Jeeezezz! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dave is let in on the song wrritting alot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He is? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i doubt Dave Gahan would "fuck thigs up". From the majority of reviews i've read on both their recent albums the majority of people said the Dave Gahan one was the only one worth owning. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. so far, dave has NOT been involved in any songwriting for dm even though he has wanted it. martin has even told dave how he should sing the songs.(according to recent interviews with dave) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what I thought.... I haven't read those interviews though... Anus? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well... you could start by reading the article on nme.com that IronLung is linking to in the first post of this topic. :) |

ehhehehe guess my crystal ball was RIGHT! eh? someone doesn't market himself as the 'FORMER' lead singer of Depeche Mode if they are happy with the band =0) i hope they work things out too, they still make good music IMO. i try to experience each album on it's own merit, not compare it to previous ones. sometimes change is good.......and well sometimes NOT =b |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yeah he has quite an influence in the song wrriting. taken forr example SOFAD which was grreatly influenced by all the guitarr music he was listening to in his rrock faze. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really gave exciter a chance, i loved the single to death, but i really just can't listen to it. i remember when that came out, tool and autechre came out the same day! |

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i love Exciter. its a grreat album. i do find it harrd to put on forr some rreason but once it is on i listen to it forr days without taking it out. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you JINX em with your preminition GIRL??? ;) Yeah I REALLY hope this does not escalate. I LOVED Exciter and was looking forward to new stuff... Bah to his bad attitude... |
||||||||
|

i just heard the junkie xl track called "reload" featuring dave gahan on vocals. it's truly great. much better than every track on paper monsters. not just the music, but also the way dave is singing (or how his voice is processed, who knows?). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are peoples favourite tracks on Paper Monsters? Im going to see him live next month, hoping it will be good. I really like the album, that last track almost sounds like a massive attack song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my fav is hidden houses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer martin's voice to dave's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i meant before sending, i havent got one! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i already refused one, i didn't want a cassette.. i got greedy, asked for some b-sides or some such! he wasn't too impressed with that request! so i told him if it's gonna be the exact same thing as the commercial release i'll just wait and buy it, thanks anyway bud!! :) i hope it didn't come out the wrong way cos i'm excited to hear it (on cd). if you wanna play paula and i in iSketch look for a room name starting with your first name! |
