With all of Depeche Mode's members starting projects of they're own it was only a matter of time until lead singer Dave Gahan stepped to the challenge by releasing his very personal debut solo album titled Paper Monsters.
The first thing I noticed while listening to the album is that the songs are quite reminiscing of recordings with Depeche Mode (specially the albums Ultra and Exciter) but offer a chiseled rock sounding ambiance. The true downside is that Dave Gahan is not a great lyricist, however, he gets away with it by deploying his ability to elevate mediocre lyrics to an emotional apex just by merely exhibiting his expressible baritone singing voice and surprisingly showcasing his multi-instrumentalist abilities in the recording session.
