Depeche Mode - Some Great Reward
Best: Stories of Old (I just love the vibe of this track. It's hard to explain. A lot of it is in the sound of the samples, the muted vocals and the somewhat odd melodic progression.)
Worst: Master and Servant (Sounds too goofy and reminds me of their first two, very unrefined albums.)
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Best: Smaller and Smaller (I love this track not because it reminds me of Dir En Grey, but because I like the style - which reminds me of Dir En Grey (almost guaranteed to be an influence on DEG). Those shrieks send chills down my spine. I just really like the tense atmosphere of the song.)
Worst: A Small Victory (a good song, but I feel like the rest of the album is more interesting. This song feels like a mix of things typical of this album and the one before it, but just lacking a bit of bite. I even like RV and the cover of the theme from Midnight Cowboy a lot better. Then there's the cover of Easy, but that one is honestly kind of fun and shows another side of Patton's vocals.)
