Free Music Notes for Paper Monsters
Free Music Review: Good, but not great
Hit: 3 Stars
It was good, but not the best. I fully expected more than this. But, over all, it was good.Free Music Review: Unfortunately, very weak.
Hit: 2 Stars
I understand Dave's effort to make a solo record, and I admire it in some small way. However, this simply does not cut it. This album is truly disappointing and fails to spark the same feeling that Martin Gore's solo album does. The music is simply un-interesting. I'm getting tired of reading reviews from all these Depeche fanatics that will praise ANYTHING released by the members of Depeche Mode. Do not listen to them - this album sounds NOTHING like DM. Why did I give it two stars and not one? Because a couple of tracks on this record are decent - 'Bottle Living' and 'Black And Blue Again'. Obviously, two songs are simply not enough to make a strong record. If you are looking for some really mellow tunes to listen to (and that is the only thing this album provides), purchase Martin Gore's album 'Couterfeit 2'.

Free Music Review: what did you expect?
Hit: 2 Stars
There has been a lot of talk over the years about the fact that it was only Martin Gore who had songs represented on Depeche Modes albums. Well here is why! There is not one single song on this album that really leaves an impression on the listener. Several of them are okay and can be heard more than once. But the majority seems to disappear after you have heard them once. The production is absolutely great and lifts several of the tracks a little bit higher, but the album does not come anywhere near Depeche Mode or Martin gores soloalbums!! The absolutely worst thing about this album is the lyrics, they really drag the whole thing down. If only Gahan had asked someone else to them, I would probably had given this album an extra star!! Sorry Dave!!!Free Music Review: Paper Monsters - Rough Draft??
Hit: 2 Stars
I'm writing this b/c I disagree with what i've read of the reviews. I'm a very big Depeche Mode fan, and I think Dave Gahan has more potential than what this album displays. Not only does it drag on and on with the same bland style of music, but the lyrics are poor. There's no poetry and/or insight to any of the verses.......they're more like bad nursery rhymes. And I dont think its Gahan's fault entirely. It sounds like someone didnt look into this project, collaborate and direct it properly. My expectations were that he was going to pursue some new directions....maybe do some non-synth oriented. Instead, you get a can of Diet Depeche Mode. Half the calories with half the taste.Free Music Review: Love Depeche Mode, didn't like this albumn.
Hit: 1 Stars
Love every Depeche mode albumn, even the much maligned Exciter.[]passed on seeing the concert when it came to Atlanta. It is so sad to see this happen. The truth is that together, the three men that made up DM worked together to put out a very well done product. Cut that into it's separate parts and you have three guys who can't do much good. Dave Gahan cannot write to save his life (as evidenced in this albumn) and Martin Gore's singing doesn't have power without Dave along for the ride. Andrew Fletcher is a great keyboard player, but...well you know the rest. Weak lyrics, weak beats, no emotion make for a painful listen.Avoid this if you love Depeche Mode, buy it if you are in love with Dave...sorry to say I am not.
