The last double A-side single from 'Playing the Angel' will be released in a week's time. 'John the Revelator' is the weakest track on the CD with its horrid blues-tint. Ack. If only Gore would get over his horrid blues fixation.

Naming this a double A-side is pointless as there are no remixes for 'Lilian'.

And the cover. The cover design is simply atrocious. It's unmemorable. It's not striking. It's gaudy yet dull...

The cover design for the singles and the album of 'Playing the Angel' is up there with the worst of Depeche Mode covers, namely 'Ultra' and the singles.

It's really too bad.
