Whether this is Depeche Mode's side to 'Songs From the Big Chair' or not, 'Music for the Masses' finally cemented their status as one of electro-pop's finest craftsmen. American album certifications – Depeche Mode – Music for the Masses". Recording Industry Association of America. 1 February 1991. Not to forget 'I Want You Now', one of Gore's beautiful a capella episodes - once again questioning both, time and lust, built on a simplified male-female sigh-snippet - sliding into a spy-like theme, 'To Have And To Hold'; indecipherable radio message giving the impression of voices echoing in one's head, all paranoia with morally induced lyrics. 'Nothing' is another impressive standard which sadly wasn't given a chance as a single - its an effectively negative statement, which indirectly (in terms of lyrics) echoes Gore's spiritual and materialistic doubts, once expressed in 'Everything Counts' and 'Blasphemous Rumours'.

Band members Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore both explained the album's title was conceived as a joke, after Gore found an old album called "Music for the Millions." [9] Fletcher said, "The title's... a bit tongue-in-cheek, really. Everyone is telling us we should make more commercial music, so that's the reason we chose that title." [8] According to Gore, the title "was a joke on the uncommerciality of [the album]. It was anything but music for the masses!" [10] Cover art [ edit ] Blanning, Lisa (27 March 2013).

Retrieved 12 March 2014. Eh Weirdly disappointed in this. There's almost nothing on this record that interests me. Which is strange. This is undoubtedly interesting music, with the complex rhythms, and the synths and samples of noise that get mixed in with the beat and swirl around like a washing machine. But none of it caught my attention. I think it's the irritatingly alternative sound that they have, and the painfully obvious attempt to create some sort of catchy ear candy, while still keeping up a mysterious aura. "Never Let Me Down Again" is great, with a fantastic groove and possibly the only memorable melody on here. After that it simply goes downhill.
