Episode 13: Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses (1987) Part 2

A week has gone by since Brian and Sarah started discussing this late-80s classic by the boys from Basildon known as Depeche Mode. This episode finds our hosts ready to dive into the second side of the Mode's sixth album, but not before making a few more comments on their latest offering, "Spirit." Part 3 (Continued): Track by Track The five songs of the album's second side are examined one by one. Which track does Sarah consider to be the quintessential Depeche Mode song? Which video delights the hosts? Who has a problem with the song order on the second side? And what are those Russian voices saying at the beginning of "To Have and to Hold?" The answers can be found here! Behind the Wheel I Want You Now To Have and to Hold Nothing Pimpf Part 4: Final Grade Both Brian and Sarah are extremely fond of this album, as it has been a part of their lives for many years. So how difficult was it for them to review the album from a more objective point of view? And does Sarah finally decide to give her first rating of five record adapters? Part 5: Extra Credit The cassette and CD versions of "Music for the Masses" contain four bonus tracks. Brian asks for Sarah's opinions on each of these songs, and then poses the question of whether the album would have been helped or hindered if they had been a part of the official album.
