Free Music Notes for Paper Monsters
Free Music Review: Paper tiger
Hit: 2 Stars
Its obvious that most of the reviewers on here are big fans of Depeche Mode, and they are being more than generous with their ratings. This album lacks depth and any kind of fire. I am always amazed when bands break off to do solo albums and come out with work like this - uninspired, bland. Clearly the members of Depeche Mode need the interaction with each other to come up with anything worth listening to.
Do I recommend this album? No. Don't bother.
Free Music Review: Kind of a Drag
Hit: 2 Stars
Although it's better after four listens than it was after one, this one's going to need more time to grow on me. Love the voice, but I'm disappointed by the mostly weak songs. Two hummable tunes in a full-length album isn't much.Free Music Review: I'm trying to like it, but...

I really want to like this CD but I'm having a hard time with it. The lyrics are trite and much of the music is boring. Although I suppose it could be called mood music I just can't get into the mood for it. Maybe it'll grow on me. Probably not.I wasn't expecting Depeche Mode, but I wasn't expecting it to be so dreary and uncompelling either. The title track is ok, as are a couple of other tunes (the lyrics are still bad), however the remaining tracks go nowhere, slow. Especially Bitter Apple, which sounds like it's ready to fall apart as you're listening to it.
This CD is the aural equivalent of a ghost written book where the top-billed writer poorly wrote nothing of substance and the ghostwriter's job was to clean up the mess and make it coherent.
It's destined for the bargain bin.
Free Music Review: It's No Good
Hit: 1 Stars
This album is very, very bad. It shows what happens when a self important rock star decides to take on the time honored tradition of song writing. I am a life long Depeche Mode fan, seen them 4 times in concert, have every album they've released, could hang with anybody when it comes to Depeche trivia. Trust me when I tell you that this album stinks and you should avoid it like the plague. I pray to the skies above that Alan comes back into the fold, otherwise this is a sinking ship!
