Construction Time Again

by Depeche Mode

Construction Time Again cover art

With the crucial addition of Alan Wilder, Depeche Mode significantly expanded their sonic palette by integrating early digital sampling and clanking, industrial-style percussion. 'Construction Time Again' marks a sharp thematic pivot, delivering highly political, socially conscious lyricism regarding capitalism and environmentalism over bright, mechanical synth-pop melodies. It is a highly rhythmic, futuristic, and essential transitional record for the band.
