Some great reward and Black Celebration are easily my favourite of theirs.

they're a great band, but for me, this is the only "perfect" record they've made. there isn't a bad or forgettable song on there. unfortunately, it's always overshadowed by goff celebration (which isn't terrible but i hate that middle section of martin songs) and violator, which i never cared for ("OMGpersonaljesus!!!!"

).

Here in Los Angeles, they've always had a strong following! Depeche Mode have always liked Southern California. They've played some memorable shows, including the Rose Bowl, which was chronicled in a live CD and film!

I didn't think it was a Cali thing, but I hear about them all the time. Even my mom used hear about them a lot to when she was a teacher and they were more recent.

Yeah, the little DM ghetto in here. I'm in !

anyway, i love them and everything.

ps: why did nefeli tell me she was from greece? weird...

PAULYBEE2656 · 03.12.2008, 09:37 AM

the mode are an excellent band with many duff albums. violator, black celebration and some great reward are classics and arguably 101 is one of the finest live recordings ever...... respect to them!

avantgarde1 · 03.12.2008, 06:53 PM

i really like policy of truth... but other than that i think their complete shit. then agian i dont' like 98% of 80"s stuff.

Rob Instigator · 03.13.2008, 09:28 AM

this is what has to be done. Put on Violator, loud, and listen to the words. Treat the whole record as if the lyrics are describing one man's obsession with his heroin addiction. it is quite bleak and crazy. I love it. almost every single song on violator seems to be about dealing with an overwhelming addiction.

Clean

Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen

Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean

I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean

I don't understand
What destiny's planned
I'm starting to grasp
What is in my own hands

I don't claim to know
Where my holiness goes
I just know that I like
What is starting to show

Sometimes

As years go by
All the feelings inside
Twist and they turn
As they ride with the tide

I don't advise
And I don't criticise
I just know what I like
With my own eyes

Sometimes

One Athens I know is in Georgia, USA and the other is the capital of Greece.

Clean is an amazing song. I had been sick with them for more than 1,5 years. (Actually I'm a bit redicovering them Now, but they aren't and won't become my favourite band anymore, like they used to be my favourite band), That was the only song by them I regularly listened and didn't bore me during those 1,5 years. And they Acoustic version on the Deluxe version of Playing The Angel, Is also really great.

dionysusundone · 04.30.2009, 10:02 AM

It's pretty good, I wish I had gotten the deluxe version now that I've heard it.

Derek · 04.30.2009, 11:09 AM

What's their best album? I've heard Violator and I like it.

Rob Instigator · 04.30.2009, 11:15 AM

my faves are Violator, Music for the Masses and Black Celebration

Derek · 04.30.2009, 11:22 AM

Thanks, I'll listen to those two.

tesla69 · 04.30.2009, 11:32 AM

Their first album, the one with New Life and Just Can't Get Enough, harmless pop actually sounded quite fresh at the time, and was definitely a personal hit circa summer 82. It didn't hold up for me, the technology used sounds primitive now, but not primitive in a good way. But there were a bunch of synthpop bands at the time writing strong SONGS, Human League, Heaven 17, Flock of Seagulls come to mind.
