Utländsk press om albumet
“The British electronic group that continues to dominate the movement it pioneered 30 years ago delivers a hefty, exhilarating combo of pop precision and industrial clank on its 13th album.” –USA Today
“The album is an ebullient reminder of an enduring partnership – Gore, Gahan and Andy Fletcher are really good at their craft” –TIME
“Delta Machine is the strongest album the group has put out this century… [Depeche Mode] still feels fresh 13 albums into their career.” –Entertainment Weekly
“The group’s thirteenth album, Delta Machine, released today, finds them as capable as ever of pinning the right set of sounds to the right time… one of the best recordings in Depeche Mode’s catalog, and maybe even the best. It’s impressive to see a band get so far into their career without losing their desire to experiment and explore, or their ability to surprise.” –Esquire
“Delta Machinehas a constituency and an inventiveness far beyond what might be expected at this point in Depeche Mode’s or any band’s career. They’re still here and they’re still very good. Thirteen albums in, there’s no reason at all for Depeche Mode to stop. They’re much more than survivors. They are The Mode.” –Q Magazine
“The British modern rock trio's 13th studio album, Delta Machine, presents a group that's older, wiser and evolving.” –Associated Press
“It’s solid—their synth-pop sound still holds up surprisingly well after more than 30 years…these Brits will always be goth gods.” –People
“The tightly wound ‘Secret to the End’ and techno-driven ‘My Little Universe’ have strident, dark hooks that stick.” –Billboard
“The 13th Depeche Mode album is foregrounded in blues and gospel influences that have often merely burbled beneath their synth-pop.” –Rolling Stone
