Album Notes Depeche Mode: Andrew Fletcher, David Gahan, Alan Wilder, Martin Gore.Engineers include: Peter Iversen, Pino Pischetola, Goh Hotoda.Recorded at Logic Studios, Milan, Italy; Puk Studios, Denmark; The Church and Master Rock Studios, London, England; Axis, New York, New York.Depeche Mode's American career took the British synthpop band from hipster curios to cult artists to teenage heroes to, with this 1990 album, genuine alternative-rock superstardom. (Unfortunately, after grunge, they slid over this career crest into The Valley of the No Longer Relevant.) The album contains three massive MTV hits, the unusually guitar-oriented "Personal Jesus," the more typical "Enjoy the Silence," and "Policy of Truth." Martin Gore's songs explore his usual themes of sex ("Blue Dress"), redemption ("Clean") and desperation ("Waiting for the Night"), but the arrangements are more detailed and lush than on the band's Spartan early albums, a new style that suits Dave Gahan's deepening voice well. VIOLATOR's commercial success may have brought turmoil to Depeche Mode's career and lives, but it remains the finest of the band's late-period albums.

Report this review very nice recordReview created: 13/03/08 by: Violator. by Depeche mode. black sleeve with red rose on it. small writing. most of the songs on this album do not stand up well on their own. those that were released as singles in a multitude of different inches, etches, mixes and matches sold by the buckletload. i bought most of the versions i could find even though the only single off this album that has any nuts is personal jesus.at the time this was released i was more interested in the psychadelic furs, but if they had released President Gas in 15 different versions i doubt i would have bought them. i can remember where i was when i heard Violator for the first time. i painted the lyrics to clean in big letters around the room i was staying in...why? Violator listened to from track 1 to track 9 sucks you in and then tells you to drink up and go home, even the singularly awful Policy of Truth adds something to the whole enterprise. if you have never heard Violator, where have you been? if you can pick up a copy for about £2.50 then its a great day for western civilization.

Report this review A classic to be found in every CD collctionListening to this 16 year old album,I am always amazed how most songs have dated so little and how much of an influence they have had over he years on English and western music in general. Depeche Mode's new Best of is a jewel in itself but it's something else to have the original album. Highly recommended. Review ID: 10000000002433493 Was this review helpful? Report this review fantastic albumReview created: 02/11/06 fantastic group love all the songs nothing to dislike about them. reason for buying was that my old cd was worn out Review ID: 10000000002216334 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Why Essex is so great.....Review created: 07/10/06 by: MMMM.....the sweetest perfection? Well maybe not but probably better than the other post-1980s albums. 'Enjoy the Silence' & 'Personal Jesus' are my faves; very much DM at their most sullen & techno-poppy. 'Policy of Truth' also works well. Apparently this album made them big in the US, not sure makes a great recommendation. I bought it again as my vinyl one had vanished. Why is so great? I don't think 'clean' refered to Basildon.
