I saw some recent pics of Martin. Gosh, they're starting to look Rolling Stones old. http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/OvI5Ru32QJg/Depeche+Mode+Live+Jimmy+Kimmel/cwK9lRiLWjQ/Martin+Gore Dave just gets better with time.

This album was a musical touchstone for me - the sampled metallic sounds were like nothing I'd heard before and, of course, the songwriting. The first copy I owned was a cassette tape, and the first time I listened to it was in my car - when the intro to "Something To Do" came on, I thought the cassette player was eating the tape! GREAT album. There's certainly something missing since Alan's departure, but when I revisit the later albums, I still find quite a few gems.

Each recent album only had 1 or 2 great songs at the most. But compare their run of great stuff with other bands and they are far ahead of the pack. It's too bad because I really enjoyed the old stuff so much... I guess we still have that to listen to but it would be nice to hear amazing new albums again.

A real turd in the punch bowl. Anyways, why did DM turn into a rock band? After Alan bounced I think everything turned into something completely different. They had one guest producer after another. Couldn't have Martin taken the job? We all know Andy doesn't do jack shit. And Dave is a vocalist. But I think they just gave up too much control to outside producers that never really got it. In all those albums after Violator, there has only been about 5 or 6 songs that I really like that was worth two turds, let alone one. Just one man's opinion on DM. Not pissed off at you, just the turd that was all “I know them too!”

"I can sing every word on this album and I know it by heart." Shit. Do you know the words to "Britney" and "Christina" and "Miley" also? Like I want to see any of you fags in your underwear, holding a plastic spoon while you lip sync like a little preteen girl trying to pretend you're Martin Gore or Dave Gahan. Aahhh, the visual! Total fags on this turd forum. You guys sound like little teenage girls. “I can sing every word on this album and I know it by heart.” Shit. Do you know the words to “Britney” and

I remember reading that once. Indeed some hard work went into many of those old DM records... you can really hear it. Thanks for the link… I remember reading that once.
