5.0 out of 5 stars Precious ~ Depeche Mode, October 29, 2005

Precious~ Depeche Mode is probabaly their strongest single since the smash hit enjoy the silence. The lyrics are astounding and Gahans vocals are better then in many years. The keyboard sounds remind me allot of the Violator album and the drum sounds as well. The lyrics are quite personal and discuss Martin Gores current martial difficulties. It definitely sounds like he is speaking from his heart and the pain is almost to much to listen knowing personally how difficult relationships can truly be. The cover art is quite strange but not overly avant-garde. This is a stupendous single and I would not be surprised if this became a chart topping song in many countries and perhaps also in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing return for DM !, October 7, 2005

I'm going to focus on "Precious" itself and ignore the extra songs here for now. Musically, this song culminates Depeche Mode progression and transformation over the years. If this is a preview of the rest of the album, we're for a solid album for D Mode after a long mix of so-so releases. David's voice sound fresher than ever, his delivery is remarkable. This single is simply a fresh breeze from the recycled garbage music being released these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy The "Precious" Silence, October 27, 2005

It's impossible to listen to "Precious" and don't recall "Enjoy The Silence"; this new single is the "ETS" for the 05's, but don't get me wrong, I love this song! Could it be because I love "ETS" too? Anyway, this is a very good song and it worth listen to it; DM will always be DM, and everything they do worth every penny you spend.
