Yet Paper Monsters is not the wild work of someone newly liberated. These songs feel as if they were written over a short period, rather than plucked from 20-year-worth of unrecorded tunes. There are basically three types of track here: powerful Depeche-style glam (\"Dirty Sticky Floors,\" \"Bottle Living\"); quiet, urban mood music (\"A Little Piece,\" \"Bitter Apple,\" \"Stay\"); and rumbling industrial tracks (\"Black and Blue Again,\" \"Hidden Houses,\" \"Goodbye\"). Lyrically autobiographical, songs deal with Gahan's trouble with relationships and intoxicants and, though they lack Gore's sense of drama and perversity, they do have a maudlin charm. --Dominic Wills\n\nProduct Description\n\nPaper Monsters is the solo debut album by Depeche Mode lead singer Dave Gahan.
