Label: Rhino

Having proven his abilities as a pop craftsman on the previous year's a broken frame, Depeche Mode's main songwriter Martin Gore gets down to the business of developing a new sonic language for himself and his bandmates on construction time.

Earlier in its career, Depeche Mode tried to make its synthesizer-only arrangements seem warm and fuzzy, but here the band embraces the kraftwerk-pioneered tradition of exploiting the synthesizer's inherent inorganic qualities for their intrinsic beauty. 

In addition to straying further from the poppy approach of previous albums, the group incorporates industrial-oriented sounds as an important part of the arrangements, lending an ominous, machine-like tone to many of the songs. 

The once-chipper group's growing disenchantment with the outside world begins to flower here as well, most notably on the anti-music biz observations of "everything counts".
