If only The Masses would listen to it...
This is one of the finest albums by DM, it features tracks such as 'Strangelove' and 'Never Let Me Down Again', definately worth listening to if you're not familiar already.DM are a must for self-respecting electronic music fans and this is a beautiful album to listen to. Described ny the group at the time as 'Electronic metal', I find some tracks retain much of the industrial qualities of earlier albums while others are softer and give the album a good balance.This is Depeche Mode at their finest. Marvellous album artwork too!This is the cheapest Ive seen this thing on sale, and I'm In Ireland, came to no more than £5 INCLUDING shipping, took a good fortnight to arrive though but whatever, it's worth the wait at that price, trust me!BUY IT, BUY IT NOW!

Nice Remaster Album.
I normally don't get Remaster version of any album because for me I thinks that the original sound better. But this remaster is one of the few that I love it. I have the original USA version for the last 20 years and have the extra tracks and let me tell you that I have played more this album now that I did for the last 20 years.The art work is beautiful and have some note from Daniel miller talking about the Album. Also, is released with the original 10 tracks like the LP version had which I my opinion make the listing experience better that the USA CD version with those unnecessary extra songs and remixes. I already update all my Depeche Mode cd's with these single CD remasters versions.

Worthy of the masses
Excellent album by depeche mode and really forgot how bloody good they are. When the 80s music is mentioned DM seem to be forgotten, probably due to the fact the band are still going and churning out great music. The album itself moved away from the happy go lucky synth pop of previous offerings and moved to a more darker intense sound. The album includes my all time DM favourite Never let me down again and also other strong tracks such as Strangelove, the things you said, sacred and little 15. A strong album which still sounds great to this day. So much my younger daughter loves this in the car. Can't be too bad when competing against Taylor swift and little mix!

Essential DM
One my absolute favourite DM albums. 180g vinyl - sound is first class. Nice repro sleeve in gate fold format - Matt finish with gloss photo elements - nice touch. If you like DM you have to have this album in your collection- powerful music.

Music for the Masses? Yes it is.
A compilation that has NO fillers. Every song is a gem and puts paid to all the crap talk about Depeche Mode being nothing but an electronic band. What's remarkable is that songs you thought couldn't be improved upon like Never Let Me Down Again can be with the inclusion of the Agro Mix. From the sublime and definitive car song Behind the Wheel to the atmospheric ambient sound of Pimpf the boys of Depeche Mode show show why they are a musical force to be reckoned and why they still sell out tours time after time.

Welcome to global success
The album that finally brought DM to world renown. A clear change in style compared to their previous releases and the intro alone on the album version of Strangelove will be worth it.

A depeche mode gem.
I remember listening to this album years ago and just recently bought the CD. I forgot how much I enjoy this music. Plus I love the atmosphere that you always get with Depeche Mode. I have a couple of the greatest hits CDs which have some of these songs on. Personal favourites. Never let me down. Strange love. Sacred and little 15. Truth be told. There's nothing on this album I don't like.

Great pressing of DP's best album.
Still my favourite DP album. This 180g vinyl is a great sound. With some truely well put together tracks. As others have said, no fillers on this. Once again, a decent turntable will reward. Tonnes, or should that be tons of deap bass on this. But do you have the system to pull it out of the vinyl? Lets hope so. Bit comparison the Apple music version is weak. This is not.
