Album Review

Dave Gahan – Saw Something/Deeper & Deeper

• 12th Feb 2008

So Dave Gahan’s still doing his age-old ‘its good but its no “Enjoy The Silence”’ stuff he’s been bashing-out for years. The problem with Gahan these days is that he’s still writing innovative stuff but its just not memorable, you just zone-out and realise the tracks ended.

When the guitar kicks in on “Saw Something” it’s great and, yeah, a little bit exciting, but it still sounds oddly dated. It could quite easily be the new Verve record and who really cares what that sounds like?

The sad thing is Gahan’s been reduced to background music. The record’s fine, its ok, it’ll do, but who really wants that?
