The deeper you dig into Depeche Mode's prolific catalogue, the bleaker their lyrics and the bolder their sound. While the razor-sharp industrial pop of "Lie to Me" remains their signature, it's the slippery seduction of the orchestral "Sweetest Perfection", the slow-burning existentialism of "The Things You Said" and the gospel funk of "John the Revelator" that keep luring us back into their drama.
