Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:11:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author speeddemon531 - When Violator, the seventh studio album by British band Depeche Mode dropped in the late spring of 1990, I had only recently become aware of the mania that surrounded the foursome. Being a 13-year old whose world really revolved around fairly...

Violator by Depeche Mode: Violator: A Classic Depeche Mode Album Remastered

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 21:12:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - There are albums that defined a year and albums that defined a decade. Violator from Depeche Mode did both. The songs they created were dark, emotional, and in the end also highly entertaining. It was with this album that I discovered the talented...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pyfr - I received my passport into the world of Depeche Mode by dating a ballerina back in high school. I was a metal guy, into Queensryche, Fates Warning, Iron Maiden, blah blah blah; I tolerated bands like Joy Division, The Cure, and the Mode mostly to...

Violator by Depeche Mode: Depeche's Concept

Wed, 6 Jun 2001 14:22:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mozambique - It took me a while before I realized it, but this album is not just your typical collection of songs. This is actually a true-to-life concept album. The songs are all related to eachother, placed in a very specific order, and meant to be heard as a...

Violator by Depeche Mode: How to be pretentious and saccharine

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 19:44:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Daniel_Rf - Depeche Mode, much like The Moody Blues and (to a lesser degree) the later Pink Floyd, were always looked down upon in their home country, but had a bit of a cult following in the USA. Why? Well, because Depeche Mode (or, as I lovingly refer to them,...

Violator by Depeche Mode: Aural Ecstasy

Tue, 9 May 2000 05:09:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Freak369 - I suppose my list of musical interests gets more and more bizarre with each review. First Type O Negative, then White Zombie and Everclear … then (gasp) Duran Duran. Should I even say that I was once a card-carrying fan of NKOTB? I get enough hate...

Tue, 2 May 2000 16:29:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Guildenstern - Depeche Mode were a band who hadn't quite bloomed after years and years of cd after cd. "Some Great Reward" had been the best effort to date, but there were enough lulls in the music to make it far from perfect. "Black Celebration"...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bloomerific - "Violator" was the first Depeche Mode record I ever had; as well as one of the first CDs I ever purchased. To this day, I have flashbacks of singing "Personal Jesus" while walking through the halls of high school...
