I love "Personal Jesus" as much as the next guy, but there's not much else here for me, I'm afraid.

A collection of great songs from Personal Jesus to Enjoy The Silence, grandiose themes as Waiting For The Night or Halo. Futuristic electronic pop, some blues and love and tragedy, the masterpiece of Depeche Mode, a classic of all time

One of the first albums I ever bought on cd, a very good collection of songs of which Enjoy The Silence is the pick. The big problem is when it comes on my ipod it's quiet to an extreme which affects my listening experience. Don't know if it's the production or a problem with the cd but it has definitely skewed my opinion of this album.

Their pinnacle. Everybody knows the hits, but it's songs like "Blue Dress" and "Waiting for the Night" that make this CD. Wave at its finest.
