Another track off the album leaked on YouTube. Hurry before it gets taken down. Not sure I like this one.

Oh, found another. Like this one better.

OK, another update. I just read that this version of "Hole to Feed" is NOT the version from the album.
Which is a good thing. I'm listening to it now for the third time. As is, it's one of the worst DM songs ever.
Dave clearly wrote this one.

JeffTheAlpaca

is the deluxe box set which retails for close to $80 worth it with all those gadgets?

I spent around $65 for the U2 deluxe set.

Daytripper

Here's a sample of "Ghost". Only in the box set. Damn this sounds SOOOOO fucking great. This is how I like my Depeche Mode. Full on electronic.

So if I'm getting the deluxe set, I don't need to get that iTunes pass thing, right?

Daytripper

No, don't. You'll get everything in the deluxe set. Including the album in 5.1. Which you can't get on iTunes. I'm looking forward to that the most.

Supermallet

Excellent... *rubs hands together*

Daytripper

Just sent you an e-mail.

Supermallet

Got it, thanks!

Ok, I'm really liking how this is sounding. Got good tickets for the July 24 show in Toronto, so it will be nice to see them.

I am loving Wrong. I know several tracks have leaked, but people said they're really poor quality versions, I'll wait for the HQ versions to listen. I already have new PSB tracks to enjoy and a Prince cd on the horizon, Depeche will have their time

Daytripper

Check this out guys. AWESOME!!!

That is a great video. Can't wait for this album.

Quite liked the feedback from some people on itunes for the Wrong video.
It seems if you have a disturbing video you get marked down! doesn't matter if it's great.

Daytripper

I have only liked a handful or more of their videos. I don't mind disturbing. But that has to be one of the laziest videos I've ever seen. Dave/Mart and Andy are in the video for a whopping 5 seconds. Hell, any fan could have made that, or better. Plus, it reminds me of something Radiohead would have done. So not terribly original. Which is sad, because the song is fantastic.

There's a great demo video of them performing "Come Back" that's been floating around the Internet the past few days. It's really awesome in this demo version, and makes me interested in hearing how the more electronic version will sound. Dave's voice sounds really great.

I got my tickets to the Hollywood Bowl. Never been to that venue before but hope it's good from the second to last section.

nothingfails

the video also reminded me a tad of "Karma Police".

But I like it, the whole brief band cameo was genius IMO, as opposed to a standard performance clip where it cuts to clips of Depeche performing the song

Supermallet

Did you get in on the presale or the Citibank promotion? I'm waiting for tickets to go on sale to the general public tomorrow so I can get mine.

Daytripper

Posted that clip a few posts above.

Nyko

Ticketmaster had a presale yesterday morning; I know there were other presales that started on Monday. The best seats I could get were in the second to last section at the ~$55 price, and that was about what I could afford so I was fine with it.

Daytripper

I got fairly good seats on the pre-sale for the D.C. show. I used to go to one of those legal ticket brokers and spend around $275 for a seat in the first three rows. Now, they're asking for $600.00 per seat that close. No way will I drop that kind of money.

Nyko

How close are you? I guess the benefit of being in the back for a DM concert is that I will get to see all the arms during Personal Jesus and Never Let Me Down.

Daytripper

I'm 10th row center in the section right behind the orchestra. And if I recall correctly, the orchestra section at Nissan Pavillion is about 10 rows. So I'm feeling pretty good about my seats. Look, this is the 15th time I've seen DM in concert. The first was the "Black Celebration" tour in 1986 where I was in the 5th row center. Then I saw the "Music for the Masses" tour three times including the Rose Bowl. So I can't complain. I've been just about everywhere in the venues to see them.

Supermallet

Crap, I hope I'm not stuck all the way in the back. I was about 2/3 of the way back at the Bowl for Bjork and even that felt like a million miles away.

Nyko

You've got 2 nights to try to get good seats for. There's also Santa Barbara and San Diego.

Daytripper, since it seems like you've been to all their tours. How often have they done a second leg? I know they did one on their last tour.
