Album Notes & Community Reviews
Significantly darkening their synthesizer sound, Depeche Mode embraced the metallic, clanking percussion of early industrial and EBM for 'Some Great Reward'. Martin Gore's songwriting matures considerably, exploring deeply melancholic, romantic, and often subversive themes of sexual politics and religious doubt. The album is a cold, highly rhythmic, and structurally brilliant milestone of mid-80s darkwave.
