Let me take you on a trip around the world and back
And you won't have to move, you just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking and let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take you to the highest mountain to the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map, believe me
Now let my body do the moving and let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is, nothing more than
You can feel now, that's all there is
Let me put you on a ship on a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean, all the heaven's in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is, nothing more than
You can touch now, that's all there is
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes

This Depressed Mode is right on down there with David Bryne in the bottom of the virtual garbage can of music

RIP Andy, you will be greatly missed.
I bought this album (obviously) for their hit song Enjoy the Silence back in those days, but was overwhelmed by the intensity of the whole album.
Definitely in my top 10 best albums of all time.
(whereas there older work isn't really my cup of tea)

I like how certain groups can grow on you (and mostly thanks to RP) as Depeche Mode, Radiohead, heck, even the Smiths, all have tunes I can dig nowadays whereas if you asked me back in 2000 say, I would have given an immediate "SUCKO-BARFO" response.
Now all I gotta do is start liking DMB and the Quadfecta of "bands I used to despise" will be complete. Probably not gonna happen - still NEVER say NEVER (other than when saying "Never say Never" of course.)
And not knowing a lot about DM's music, I can't tell if this was the "end of the 80s" for the group or not. It sounds so very 80s to me, and that might have something to do with my dislike for the group over the last 25+ years. LONG LIVE RP and PEACE TOO!!!
Depeche Mode is fabulous, and I say that as someone just barely too young for the band to have any nostalgia value.
Sounds like they just pumped the groove out of Kraftwerk's "Tour de France".
Great groovy and same time relaxing song

A pretty groovy, almost upbeat, tune for Depressed Mode.
Thank you Bill!
Cool! Depeche Mode! Smug Second-Tier Pop from the 80s!
very nice!

Yes, it certainly is, especially considering that the instrument was invented in the 1920s.
Way back at the dawn of the digital age, the Theremin used the musician's hand position — while not actually touching the machine — to make music.

The best album and the best song never forget 
But they had the best hooks of the big hair bands.

I just turned off Spotify to listen to RP after finishing listening to Violator. Thought something had gone wrong at first...
Despite some zeitgeist sounds (the snare) the songs themselves as well as the lyrics are surprisingly timeless.

No argument. I get it that this is musical and the loops are creative etc. Just not my bag. Just like maybe a blister guitar solo and some fancy wahwah pedals might not be yours.

Though this song I like it's not at the top of the list. This album is definitely a top tier. Great album.

So anything with electrically generated sounds is not a real instrument? In that case, your "screaming guitar" isn't a real instrument as the electric guitar sounds like crap when played with the electrics turned off.
With the advance of the digital age, more and more things are used to make music. Anything used to make music can be an instrument, I don't care if it is as simple as banging on a brake hub or as complex as a computer.
That said, I understand the intent of your argument. There is a completely different skill set used when playing a guitar then sitting in front of a computer screen or production board.

Ah, the weakest song on a fantastic album. Still an 8 for me.

Even non goths just have to love Depeche Mode. So passionate and driving, yet soothing.

These guys are faithful to their sound. When you're in the mood for it, there's nothing like it. When you're not...you just have to wait for the next song and hit 'mute'.

I like these guys, they just played here in Lima (Peru, not Ohio), sold out w/in weeks.
Had this on my workout playlist for a while, had to drop it. The beat works ok, but a little too dark to keep me running/rowing/lifting.

Saw DM in Chicago a couple months ago when they played to a crowd of about fifty thousand. It (honestly) was incredible. I was lucky to get a spot just in front of the sound board booth at the center. I was blown away. They were amazing and the production was world class. I listened to theses guys when I was a kid and new wave was still "new". I never imagined I would get to see them for real and even if I had — I never would have pictured a presentation of that quality. One for the memoirs.

You may have had to be there, but this recording reminds me of Hollywood Blvd.

c'mon now, if we compiled a list of techno/electro/ambient acts which were "inspired" by Kraftwerk, the list would be very long indeed.
At least Depeche Mode (unlike Coldplay) did not directly lift one of their riffs into one of their pastiche pieces.

Actually, a lot of Germans think they kick ass, and have for some time. Look up "Depeche Mode Hamburg" on YouTube. You can see the interesting juxtaposition of footage from the "Live in Hamburg" video from 1984 and the live shows in Hamburg from 2006. Their popularity there apparently never waned, even after 22 years.
I think you missed some irony there...
Gee I wish I had half of this guy's self confidence
Dave is massively confident and just having fun on stage as performer (Martin struggles with stage presence but gets through it and is well-loved by audience). Seen them twice recently. Dave is one of the most on-pitch, on-time vocalists I've seen live (been a concert-goer of a multitude of bands since 1980). Absolutely outstanding shows -- amazing visuals, bombastic sound, intense energy.
