Fucking classic album. Absolutely phenomenal, my favorite Depeche record, it's damn near flawless. It has a ridiculous dark and cool sonic quality to it.
The first Depeche Mode album I actually ever heard was "Ultra", but it got me into them enough to check out their older material, when I heard "Violator" that was it, I was officially a huge fan. |

My first was Music for the Masses but I agree with you - Violator is a near-perfect album * * *

Black Celebration through Ultra is perfect seriously some fucking fantastic albums. Violator gets better and better each year. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Anyone dig the b-sides? or the bonus tracks from the 2006 remaster. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Same here. Wouldn't consider myself a DM fan in general but Violator is absolutely flawless from start to finish. don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed.... | |

A great album: love the b-sides as well. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
