Initially the title must have sounded like an
incredibly pretentious boast, except that Depeche Mode
then went on to do a monstrous world tour, score even
more hits in America and elsewhere than ever before,
and pick up a large number of name checks from emerging
house and techno artists on top of all that. As for the
music the masses got this time around, the opening cut
"Never Let Me Down Again" started things off
wonderfully: a compressed guitar riff suddenly slamming
into a huge-sounding percussion/keyboard/piano
combination, anchored to a constantly repeated melodic
hook, ever-building synth/orchestral parts at the
song's end, and one of Gahan's best vocals (though
admittedly singing one of Gore's more pedestrian
lyrics). It feels huge throughout, like they taped
Depeche recording at the world's largest arena show
instead of in a studio. Other key singles "Strangelove"
and the (literally) driving "Behind the Wheel"
maintained the same blend of power and song skill,
while some of the quieter numbers such as "The Things
You Said" and "I Want You Now" showed musical and
lyrical intimacy could easily co-exist with the big
chart-busters. Add to that other winners like "To Have
and to Hold," with its Russian radio broadcast start
and dramatic, downward spiral of music accompanied by
Gahan's subtly powerful take on a desperate Gore love
lyric, and the weird, wonderful choral closer "Pimpf,"
and Depeche's massive success becomes perfectly clear.
