I really don't understand why a lot of people are furious against DM
cause they dont like their new stuff. I've been a fan from the
beginning and as far as i'm concerned i don't know any band that is
still doing interresting stuff after almost 30 years... Come on !!!
There's always at least a couple of good songs on every album since
Violator... To me Violator is in the same category as The Joshua
Tree : A COMPLETE album FULL of great songs. U2 has the same kind of
problem, their fans are looking for Joshua Tree #2 and look what U2
produced over the last 15 years !!!

I can understand that every fan is looking for an album that good, but
keep in mind that they are human and nobody's forcing anyone to buy or
listen to their NEW sound... At least these guys are trying to develop
a new kind of sound album after album... There will never be a better
personal jesus or enjoy the silence or anything else... Past is in the
past and i do admire Depeche Mode for what they are trying to do in
the present. If you are deceived by their new CD go back to the old
songs that you like so much and stop your condemnation
People are people...

Are you saying you didn't like their stuff previous to Violator, or was
Violator your first exposure to them? Personally, I like their
pre-Violator stuff the best, but there are still songs I like on every
album from Violator on, including Sounds of the Universe (Peace and
Perfect are my current favorites).

Likewise. My favourite album would be Construction Time Again, and
Black Celebration. Violator was obviously what made them in the States,
but that would be a parochial outlook!
