With this album, Depeche Mode changed producers and set about shedding their more fragile synth/electronic pop for a more robust sound. The album has fingers in genres ranging rock, electronica, goth and even pop.
Great range of sounds, from the boomy-roomy opening track "Never Let Me Down Again" through to the eerie piano and choir of album closer "Pimpf".
The band named the album ironically (much like Faith No More with their release "Album of the Year") based on its perceived lack of commercial appeal, but it ended up faring reasonably well. It eventually sold a million copies in the US.
