Our Take

Ah, Depeche Mode, the kings of synth-pop with a dark and brooding edge. Their latest offering, "Almost Acoustic Christmas," is a departure from their usual sound, trading in the electronics for a more stripped-back, intimate vibe.

The album kicks off with "Personal Jesus," a haunting acoustic rendition of their classic hit that showcases frontman Dave Gahan's soulful vocals. It's a bold choice to reinterpret such a beloved song, but Depeche Mode pulls it off with aplomb.

Tracks like "Enjoy the Silence" and "Just Can't Get Enough" are given new life in this acoustic setting, with the band showing off their impeccable musicianship and knack for crafting catchy hooks.

The standout track has to be "Policy of Truth," which sees Depeche Mode delving into darker territory with its raw, emotional performance. Gahan's voice is on top form here, conveying heartache and longing in every note.

Overall, "Almost Acoustic Christmas" is a refreshing departure for Depeche Mode, showing off a more vulnerable side to the band while still retaining their signature sound. It may not be what fans are used to, but it's a welcome change of pace that showcases the band's versatility. Pitchfork rating: 8.0.
