Worth the wait!,
By mach1boy "mach1boy" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sensor (Audio CD)
It was eight years in the making, and it didn't disappoint. After their dreadful Spice Crackers album that nearly lost me as a fan, I simply couldn't believe how great these tracks sounded after first listening to them. I Can't Feel You is the strongest track, and most of the others are strong enough to be released as singles in their own right as well. This album has been in the most repeated playlist of my ipod now since its release and will likely be there for some time to come. I'll Follow Behind is my second fav after Feel You. Check it out!

Good album by Depeche Mode...er, Camouflage,
By R O C K E T (The Twin Cities, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sensor (Audio CD)
My only exposure to Camouflage prior to ordering "Sensor" was the greatest hits collection, "We Stroke the Flames." I enjoyed some of that cd, but was not over-the-top impressed. "Sensor," on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise. It's a very mature, polished album, and most of the songs clicked instantly. The slow songs in particular (which comprise the majority of the album) are very moody and atmospheric, which I like. The more upbeat songs are catchy and nicely produced, too. My major complaint is that a couple of the songs are such obvious amalgamations of DM songs. I have no problem with bands being influenced by other bands. Obviously - that's natural. Most of the music I listen to was heavily influenced by DM. But take the song "I'll Follow Behind"...basically, it is a rehashing of DM's "It's No Good" (as a previous reviewer mentioned). "I Can't Feel You" has heavy heavy DM influence as well. Nonetheless, these are both great songs and are actually two of my faves from the album. The song "Perfect" is a good song, too, but could fit easily onto De/Vision's "Void" album. "Blink" is sorta weird and feels a little out of place (and has elements of DM's "Comatose"). I also think that "Me and You" is highly overrated. It's actually one of my least favorites from the album. It sounds to me like a generic prototype of what modern synthpop is, more or less. And the lyrics are quite goofy ("it's me and you / revolutionary true / colors will fade / from night to day / to something new"). I think they just need to build on their more unique sounds and drop a bit of the DM imitation, even though they are good at it. Overall, this is a very good album and it's gotten lots of play from me. Any fan of synthpop (especially DM-esque stuff) will surely enjoy it. Highlights are "Harmful," Here She Comes," "I Can't Feel You," "I'll Follow Behind," "Thief," and "Together."

Hi Camouflage! Welcome back.,

This review is from: Sensor (Audio CD)
You sound none the less the worse for wear after all this time; in fact, this is arguably your most consistent work to date.Based on "Me and You" alone, I'd guessed that you'd been listening to Mesh lately; then I learned that you'd turned to them for a lethally good remix of "I Can't Feel You" (on the second CD-single for that song), and it all made sense. _Sensor_ may not be up to the new standard for Depeche-y synth set by Mesh's _Who Watches Over Me_, but it's not bad. Not bad at all.
