“Delta Machine is the strongest album the group has put out this century…  [Depeche Mode] still feels fresh 13 albums into their career.” –Entertainment Weekly

“The British electronic group that continues to dominate the movement it pioneered 30 years ago delivers a hefty, exhilarating combo of pop precision and industrial clank on its 13th album.” – USA Today
