Things Get Damaged

You cannot be serious when saying that "När det blåser på månen" is a mediocre song, it's one of their best. ;)

Okay, I'll be honest. It's not a mediocre song, I love it. But in the old album version it's just so badly produced and Jocke Berg's voice is hardly what it is today. I never thought of it as a "bad" song but considering the new version performed live on the recent tour was such an improvement, the old version's shortcomings get more obvious. But as you say, mediocre is really the wrong word. Time just hasn't been kind on the album version.

Apart from that there's loads of talking going on about Depeche Mode and their new single and upcoming album. The single which most people should have heard right about now is called "Precious" and it sounds pretty much like something grabbed from the studio floor inbetween Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion. A combo which reinvents an old sound and thanks to Martin Gore's genius making it seem fresh again. The song itself isn't a masterpiece, but it certainly leaves much to hope for when the album Playing the Angel is released in october.
