Free Music Notes for Paper Monsters
Free Music Review: Great stuff
Hit: 4 Stars
Obviously, the lyrics aren't quite as deep, challenging, or memorable as typical Depeche Mode lyrics, as these were not written by Martin Gore. However, even though it is very straight-forward lyrically, the music itself is still excellent. A good blend of some different sounds on this album, some bluesy, a few torchy songs, and at least a few catchy DM sounding ditties.So again, its *not* as good as Depeche Mode. So if you would normally rate something by DM as a 5, this will be a 4. And so on. No idea if this will always be the case, but you can give the whole album a trial listen...
If you've always liked Gahan's performances, then you will probably like this. Give it a whirl.
Free Music Review: Dave's World
Hit: 4 Stars
Very different from DM. But quite enjoyable all the same. Difficult to listen to often due to a fair ammount of dark songs, but if you sit with it and let it sink in you will not be dissapointed. "Hidden Houses" sounds the most like DM to me, Dave's majestic voice singing over a Cure like bassline. "Stay" and"Hold On" beautiful and and uplifting lullaby type songs, very similar to "Exciter"'s "Goodnight Lovers". All in all a very consistent and great record. I look forward to Dave's future solo albums and to the new DM album in the future. If these guys make another one I see good things to come.Free Music Review: I really liked this album...
Hit: 4 Stars
I personally thought this album was a testiment to Dave's growth both in his music and his personal experiences. Granted it doesn't have the same dark and moody feel of the early DM albums, but I believe that's a good thing. This is his branching off from that whole scene. And this album is quite personal, almost like getting a small peek into the man behind the fame. This album made me laugh, made me cry, made me wanna dance the night away. I can't wait to hear what he comes out with next, whether it's another solo album or one with DM.Free Music Review: I liked this album

I personally thought this album was a tribute to the growth of Dave Gahan both in his music and his personal experiences. Granted it doesn't carry the same dark and moody feel as the early DM albums, but I see that as a good thing. This is his way of breaking away from the image he has as the lead singer of DM. It's also a personal look at the struggles he's been through and what he's overcome. It's like getting a look into the man behind the music and fame. The tunes are catchy, the beats will move you.Free Music Review: Not Depeche Mode but a great solo debut album
Hit: 4 Stars
I am a huge Depeche Mode fan, So when this album came out I had to get it and all I have to say is that it is not Depeche Mode, it is not the best album I have heard lyrically but it sounds great, has great energy and is one of these albums you have to turn up loud and blast out. No its not Depeche Mode, but a great debut from a performer who can only get better and better with or without Depeche Mode. I hope with, but in between Depeche Mode projects he will only improve!
