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.

ISBN 84-8048-639-2.The album starts out with Never Let Me Down Again, a strangely endearing look at drug use. This song is still one of my favorites. It starts out slow enough, and then builds to near chaos. Next, we move through The Things You Said, Strangelove, and Sacred. And then we get to Little 15. This song is amazing in its simplicity. It feels like a dark, disturbing waltz. And Martin Gore's obsession with fifteen year olds never gets boring.
