There s no doubt this time.
Playing the angel is both the band s best album since violator and more significantly an album that is near violator in stature.
Make no mistake playing the angel is not depeche mode s best and wil never beat violator music for the masses or black celebration off the throne but it s a powerful album from a band that has been around for almost 30 years and still sounds impressive.

Playing the angel.
The album was also released on vinyl as double lp housed in gatefold sleeve.
Once more they showed they had their own unique style that would always remain the style of depeche mode.
Depeche mode truly capitalized on what they are good at again.
In my opinion this is their second best album after the violator.
