Product Name: | Depeche Mode - Violator - Vinyl |
Product Description: | In a word stunning. Perhaps an odd word to use given that Violator continued in the general vein of the previous two studio efforts by Depeche Mode: Martin Gore s upfront lyrical emotional extremism and knack for a catchy hook filtered through Alan Wilder s ear for perfect arrangements ably assisted by top English producer Flood. Yet the idea that this record would both dominate worldwide charts while song for song being simply the best most consistent effort yet from the band could only have been the wildest fantasy before its release. The opening two singles from the album however signaled something was up. First was Personal Jesus at once perversely simplistic with a stiff arcane funk/hip-hop beat and basic blues guitar chords and tremendous thanks to sharp production touches and David Gahan s echoed snaky vocals. Then Enjoy the Silence a nothing-else-remains-but-us ballad pumped up into a huge dramatic romance/dance number commanding in its mock orchestral/choir scope. Follow-up single Policy of Truth did just fine as well a low-key Motown funk number for the modern day with a sharp love/hate lyric to boot. To top it all off the album itself scored on song after song from the shuffling beat of Sweetest Perfection (Well sung by Gore) and the ethereal Waiting for the Night to the guilt-ridden-and-loving-it Halo building into a string-swept pounder. Clean wraps up Violator on an eerie note all ominous bass notes and odd atmospherics carrying the song. Goth without ever being stupidly hammy synth without sounding like the clinical stereotype of synth music rock without ever sounding like a rock band Depeche here reach astounding heights indeed. |
