Memento Mori review | Middle-of-the-road Depeche Mode

★★★☆☆
Depeche Mode have always battled with existentialism through Dave Gahan’s ominous baritone and gothic synths that blurred ecstasy and agony. But now, Memento Mori being their first album without longtime keyboardist Andy Fletcher (who died suddenly last year aged 60) their melancholy is etched with an added air of mourning.
