4.0 out of 5 stars Brow-beatingly bleak, March 9, 2002

The Blue Man (Oxford, OXON England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two (Audio CD)

This is certainly a very depressing album.

De/Vision is now constituted by two members, instead of three. Their previous best of album, "Zehn" was also depressing and - at times - extolled atheism. This update ignores atheism in favour of presenting an even bleaker, machine & bass dominated picture, and songs such as "Silent moan", "Drowning soul", "Escape the world" and "Uncaring machine" are very representative.

Perhaps appropriately, the tempo is slower than on previous works of DeVision. Not all these songs are well-written, frankly: at times depression is more torporific than blindingly painful. The exception is the best, and most depressing, track on the album: the immediately arresting "Heart-Shaped Tumor". Two is worth buying for this track alone in my view.

"Zehn" is certainly a better album (and, being a greatest hits compilation, this is not entirely surprising). However, anyone that enjoys listening to Depeche Mode (and especially styles characteristic of their "Ultra" album) should still buy this offering, "Two" from De/Vision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow at it's best !!!, July 3, 2002

"fxwei" (Here & there.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two (Audio CD)

De/Vision has shown everyone how gifted they are; and "TWO" further validated the fact that they're one of the most talented musicians out there nowadays. After somehow a disappointing "Void" album, I think this is the best album they ever created (aside from "Zehn"). The tone of the album is somewhat mellow and more settled. Don't expect any upbeats synthpop here. But somehow, they have managed to keep the album musically & melodically enganging !! Definitely a keeper !! Peace !!

About as close to depeche sounding as you can get. I think this album is flawless. These guys should be heard by all people that love depeche type music.
