Advantages: A musical and lyrical tour de force. The zenith of DM's musical development. Disadvantages: None to speak of.
...INTRODUCTION
Having written Music for the Masses and completed a massive world-wide tour, it was three years before DepecheMode (DM) found the energy to put together their next studio effort. Having been spoiled by the relatively short gap between the watershed Black Celebration (1986) and Music for the Masses (1987) the wait seemed like veritable torture to their legion of fans ? me included. Fortunately, they produced an album of craft and character that rewarded their devoted followers. If the language I use seems to have faintly religious connotations, it?s because with Violator ? DepecheMode arguably reached the height of their main stream popularity. Their most successful single from the album ?Enjoy the Silence? even won ?Best Single? at the 1991 Brit Awards ? a level of success in the UK that the band had never achieved...

...MUSINGS FOR THE MASSES
First of all a confession. I am a dyed in the wool DepecheMode (DM) fan, and have been since I first listened to Some Great Reward in 1984 - the album that featured the hit international single ?People Are People? and announced DM?s arrival to the wider public. I could probably string together entire conversations consisting of DM lyrics, and am sad enough to admit that me, and my cousin ? a fellow devotee, have done so on one or two less than sober occasions. At least three DM albums would make my top ten desert island discs. As such, this review must come with a word of warning. I will try my very best to be as non-biased as possible, but as one of the masses who treats each DM album release as a quasi-religious event, I know in my bones I am fighting a valiant, but ultimate losing battle for objectivity...
