The memories, emotions, and goosebumps of singing along with thousands of people to such songs as “ Enjoy the Silence,” “ Personal Jesus,” or “ World in My Eyes” is something I will carry with me forever. 01 Personal Jesus Holier Than Thou Approach 02 Dangerous Sensual Mix 03 Personal Jesus Acoustic 04 Personal Jesus Pump Mix 05 Personal Jesus Telephone Stomp MixIn the summer of 2017, I had the pleasure of attending a DEPECHE MODE concert during their Global Spirit Tour stop in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. They received a second nomination for the video 'Wrong': for Best Short Form Music Video at the 52nd Grammy AwardsDepeche Mode Violator The 12 Singles. On 3 December 2009, Sounds of the Universe was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album. On 19 December 2006, Depeche Mode's back catalogue was released on the iTunes Store as The Complete Depeche Mode.

They went the minimalistic route with this record and the result is a very sleek and elegant collection of songs that combine pop sensibilities, ambient charm, and mischievous undertones (especially lyric-wise), while leaving enough room for the music to breathe and flourish in its simplicity. Labeled as either synth-pop or alternative rock, the album has a very cohesive sound to it as the songs play well off of each other, creating a dynamic flow to the music and giving the album great playability. This goes to show that stepping out of your comfort zone and doing things differently can lead to great results.Showcasing perfectly that “less is more,” the nine songs on the album still appeal to the public not necessarily because they are simpler or more accessible, but because the core of DEPECHE MODE’s sound is more clearly brought into focus. The album itself peaked at number seven on Billboard 200 and on number two on the UK Albums Chart. With both “ Enjoy the Silence” and “ Personal Jesus” entering the top 10 in the United States and the United Kingdom, “ Violator” put DEPECHE MODE on the road to international stardom.

Album closer “ Clean” is more dramatic and somber, with pounding drums, electronic swirls, and grave vocal deliveries from both Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, who harmonize with each other perfectly. The bass effects and synth overlays make “ Halo” such a darkly delicious song to listen to and “ Blue Dress” has a certain ethereal quality to it as it seems to float somewhere out of time and space. On the other hand, “ Waiting for the Night” has a certain fragility and delicacy to it coming from the atmospheric keys and almost whispered vocals, while “ Sweetest Perfection” is more rhythmic and undulating as Dave Gahan’s deep vocals mesh with the hazy orchestration.
