Dirty Sticky Floors (3:14)
Life has been a wild ride for Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan, and judging from his solo bow, "Dirty Sticky Floors," he's not exactly looking to settle down. This first single from Paper Monsters is dark and mystical, edgy and guitar-grounded—and reminiscent of Depeche's more alternative days of the
late '80s. It's also as catchy as modern rock can be without going soft. To add rhythm to the raunch, a commercial single serves up a variety of groove-gratifying remixes, also familiar territory to early-'90s Depeche Mode. "Dirty" will thrill longtime fans of the chameleon singer, while it possesses plenty of fire and grit for kids who are fed up with the many paint-by-numbers rockers currently pervading radio.—CT
