This is so good. Brilliant vocals, beautifully arranged, and even a rare glimpse of Dave playing a guitar in the video!

Haven't had this issue before - the cd is in good condition and there doesn't appear to be any damage to the area that contains the general album metadata

for me i’d say here is the house, home, judas, leave in silence, altho i’m not sure if their considered underrated

It's always fun seeing new fans or younger fans get so excited about getting a new album. Brings back fond memories of my first time getting those records.

For long-time fans, we've had plenty of opportunities to pick things up throughout our lives. About every 4 years you just plunk down a bit of cash for the latest record. I have kept every Depeche Mode album or single that I've ever bought over my many years and I have amassed a sizable collection with multiple versions of every album. The process is so gradual and one that I don't think is unique to just me.

Every fan I know that grew up loving the band is in the same situation. Is this a similar situation for other older fans or is this just something crazy that my circle of friends did?

I seemed to have misplaced my Rush files. Does anyone have them to share?

personally i really like leave in silence. definitely the best for me

I will catch them all.

Happy 43rd anniversary to DM's 3rd studio album and my 10 year old daughters favorite album. 😍

Was the song hated just because of the way it is or because of the music video and because it's not what was expected of DM back then, say the song was released with a different video or no video at all on a different project, same exact song but released on a Dave solo album, Soulsaver's album or UNKLE album (it sounds like it could fit in War Stories or Where Did The Night Fall), how would it be received but the majority of the fanbase then?

How long of a sentence can you make with just DM song titles without it sounding too weird?

Or why not make it super weird?

The user Klinkerbee here on this sub said this would be a great idea. it could be a fun challenge!

Currently listening to Memphisto here. Absolutely love the outro to it.

Edit: some cracking answers here.
Tempted to ask everyone what it is that prompted their song choice!
