This is Depeche Mode in full Technicolor Cinescope, painting with a wide palette of emotional hues. It’s a fitting entry point to an album where each track feels bigger and more ambitious than previous outings and musical moods meld and segue from one song to the next.Įven sparse arrangements like the rumor fueled “The Things You Said” and the erotically charged “I Want You Now” still have a sprawling feel to them.
The symphonic coda adds a sense of drama giving the track an expansive, cinematic feel. Like its current UK re-release counterpart, this album features the bonus tracks 'Photographic' (Some Bizarre Version) and 'Just Cant Get Enough' (Schizo Mix).

Heres what Martin Gore said in January 2021. “Never Let Me Down Again” with its metallic stomping beat and soaring chorus transcended the typical tropes of an ode to drugs and pushed it into a sonic place that was just as euphoric.

Tracks like album opener “Never Let Me Down Again” and the synth-pop charged “Strangelove” became unlikely breakouts crossing over from alt-radio into the fringe of the mainstream.
