Depeche Mode are releasing a new album!

No bass in Depeche Mode but still they're an awesome band.

It's called Sounds of the Universe and the new single is called 'Wrong'.

Here's the video. It's pretty creepy actually.

I think that that 'dark' period in the band's career between 1991-1997 gave them a very gothic, dark, almost scary edge which seems to have recaptured some of the dark side the band had Music for the Masses-era.

Yeah, they are a horrible band. I did not know they do not have a bassist. That makes me dislike them a little bit more. Maybe that is why they suck. That is my opinion though.

"Hey, a thread about something I don't like; I guess I'll barge on in and start sharing my negativity with everyone!" C'mon man, unless it's adding to the discussion, why even bother?

Depeche Mode is fun, and anything to sound different than what's on "rock" radio right now is much, much appreciated.

Depeche Mode are a great band for their genre, and they've stood the test of time too.

Andy Fletcher is so called "bassist" in DM.

"Fletcher has stated that he plays bass in Depeche Mode; programmed on the synthesizer, in addition to electric bass as played on "the Songs of Faith and Devotion" album."
I have actually seen him with bass in video, but I can't remember it's name.

About new album... I'm more fan of their latest periods (when Vince Clarke was in band).

Ha ha! Okay man! I am entitled to my own opinion. If you can't take criticism then why are you a musician? Everybody does not like the same thing. I should be able to say my point a view without someone like you saying I should not. Yes, it is adding to the discussion. It got you to say something. Do you disagree with debating? Once again Depeche Mode is a horrible band that lack any creativity.
