These 5 albums are considered the golden age of Depeche Mode. Which one would you pick as your favorite?For me I would pick Songs of Faith and Devotion. That change they made in their image and sound mixing their classic electronic sound with rock and gospel was so cool.
>For me I would pick Songs of Faith and Devotion.Based, this is my pick as well.
>>129834606What is your favorite song from that album?
>>129834636Mercy in you or Get right with me
>>129834649Dave's voice in Mercy In You are one of the best he has recorded.
>>129833793For me it's Some Great Reward. Fav song on there is 'If You Want'.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P2xwIscLb0
>>129834700Checked, Some Great Reward is amazing, though I think Black Celebration is up there too.
>>129833793DM is one of the bands that I can't enjoy a single album of end-to-end but if I take everything from them I've enjoyed, it's mostly Violator, Ultra and Songs of Faith and Devotion. I can sort of stitch together a nice EP.> Sweetest Perfection> Memphisto> Walking In My Shoes> Useless> Freelove> Rush
>>129833793Why not Include Ultra? That one is equallty great though it's not as immediately gripping as their other albums and more atmospheric.
>>129834636Higher Love or In Your Room>>129834649Get Right With Me is my least favorite
Black Celebrationt. goth
Are there any good depeche mode i like violator well enough but they seem more like a greatest hits band the only deep cuts that i can think of that are worth seeking out are fly on the windscreen and halo. Any good deep cut recommendations dm bros?
The general opinion about Vince Clarke leaving the band after the first album is that it was a good thing because then they changed to a darker sound and the lyrics got more serious too.What do you think would had happened if he wouldn't have left?How is that hairstyle that Dave has in pic related called? So cool man.
>>129833793For me it's only those first 3. I only really love half of Violator and SOFAD has maybe 3 songs I'd care to revisit. I would actually put Playing the Angel and Memento Mori over the former, and just about any album that isn't A Broken Frame or Ultra over the latter.
>>129839483>any album that isn't A Broken Frame or UltraSpirit is easily their worst though, just a completely uninspired album
>>129839483So you like the pure electronic sound and not when they started adding guitars and analog drums.Do you like their first album that is more electropop?
>>129837777>What do you think would had happened if he wouldn't have left?Basically Erasure but darker.
>>129842111Spirit's worse than the previous two, but even a phoned in DM album is still better than those two in my eyes. To be fair, Gore was basically figuring shit out live on A Broken Frame and really started finding some footholds on Construction Time Again. Ultra is just a slog to me though, aside from It's No Good and Home I can completely dispose of that one.>>129844762I don't care for the rockstar posturing stuff, no. I absolutely despise Personal Jesus, for example. As for Speak & Spell, I do like it. It's not an exceptional album but it is a cute one. Getting a laugh out of What's Your Name is worth more to me than some of their wholesale albums.

>>129837777checked>What do you think would had happened if he wouldn't have left?i probably wouldnt have cared about them, Wilder hard carried them
>>129845833>Wilder hard carried themYeah I think he was who made their songs sound more electronic and more atmospheric. Wilder did a couple of albums after he left the band but then stopped. He must have gotten bored of performing or something and now is more a producer or maybe completely retired I don't know. Have you listen to what he made after DM? He did some cool stuff.
