    The beginning tracks, like "Leave in Silence," have very little vocal sibilance (But not "See You", which is towards the end). I thought it was only my record, but then I listen to a YouTube version of the song and it's the same! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyjRfBfT7b0
    The remastered version, however, has very high sibilance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EaBsKMxv-8

      Ein absolutes Depeche Mode Album, das den Klang der 80er in sich trägt. Ich musste dieses Album erst einige Male hören, stellt es aus heutiger Perspektive doch einen starken Kontrast zu den Favorite Mode Alben dar. Aber genau das macht heute den Reiz dieser Scheibe aus. Einfach klasse.
