Depeche Mode's American career took the British synthpop band from hipster curios to cult artists to teenage heroes to, with 1989's VIOLATOR, genuine alternative-rock superstardom. It's a majestic album that reflects the buildup of angst over a decade of playing; it stays true to the outfit's basic form while exploring new aural worlds.
The album contains three massive MTV hits, the unusually guitar-oriented "Personal Jesus," the more typical but still obtuse "Enjoy the Silence," and the off-kilter and emphatic "Policy of Truth." Martin Gore's songs explore his usual themes of sex ("Blue Dress"), redemption ("Clean"), and desperation ("Waiting for the Night"), but the arrangements are more detailed and lush than on the band's spartan early albums; it's a new style that suits Dave Gahan's deepening voice well. VIOLATOR's commercial success may have brought turmoil to Depeche Mode's career and lives, but it remains one of the band's finest and (unlikely enough) truest albums. With VIOLATOR, the band pulls off the not unremarkable feat of becoming a household name without losing much of its soul.

Violator Music Review

Indeed, Violator is one of Depeche Mode's best albums. Their latest one, Playing The Angel is also beautiful.
Some of my favorite songs on this CD are: Sweetest Perfection (i'm in love with this one) Enjoy the Silence, Clean and Blue Dress.
Overall, a must buy. You cant be a DM fan without having this masterpiece in your collection! :)

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Great album, but too friggin' short!!!
By the end of this album, I was blown away but...unfulfilled. I was really getting into it and then it just ended. I was bummed but I suppose it was good though because it made me crave more and I ended up buying three more DM albums. Contains the hits "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy the Silence." My favorite off the disc is "Policy of Truth." Buy it...but buy at least one other Depeche Mode cd so that you'll have something to fill the craving afterward.
