You can hear that they start to find the sound that define them so well and that will be mature with their next release, Violator. It's not as good as their sound is still a work in progress, but it's going in the right (and dark) direction.
This was supposedly the album that marked the transition from fay electro pop dweebs to stadium friendly behemoths, but it’s not quite there for me. There’s nothing that grabs me in quite the same way as Enjoy the Silence or Personal Jesus on their later album Violater. The best track is probably the opener “Never Let Me Down” but the rest of the album doesn’t quite live up to this.
