I'm to cool to dance. Except maybe to the Dead Milkmen.

I'm one.

I'm listening to Sounds of the Universe right now, so I'm getting a kick out of this thread.

Well, so far it's three.

I'm not one.

So, still three, then.

I more here, and no, not obscure.

Four.

I didn't like it very much. It's very Depeche Modey, but hell, I like Exciter better than Sounds of the Universe, and that album blows.

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors, but I think their poop looks like melted Good Humors.

Here's another... and is "gastroenteritis" the newfangled slang for heroin hangover?

He's totally straight

/saw it on the vh1

I was planning on going when they came to Istanbul. :(

I haven't listened to them in a long time, but Violator was my first experimentation with emo-ness (the state of mind, not the genre of music).

This is the second time I've listened to the CD; I'm still not sure how I feel about it, which means that it will fade into non-play. Unlike, say, Construction Time Again and Violator. I agree that Exciter was...lukewarm, to put it kindly.

NOT

Everything after "Songs of Faith and Devotion" sucked, and even that one was just meh.

One of my favorite stories is when they came here (and I went to) their Exciter tour. They said on their blog the audience was blah through the first half of the show... when they played everything post-Violator. Yeah no kidding, maybe if they played any songs that were faster than 50 bpm we'd have something to be excited about.

I am an old Depeche Mode fan, that means heavy beats, dancy hooks, and no effing "soundscapes" and noise feedback.

DM is my all-time favorite band, buy yeah, Sounds of the Universe is underwhelming, to put it mildly. I'm not even sure I managed to listen to it all the way through.

What are we up to so far? 6 folks? In all of Fark?

Yeah, methinks they didn't want to play in an empty venue.

Subby, DM rules. Everyone knows this.

me thinks Jonas Brothers are more your style?

timmy_the_tooth: What are we up to so far? 6 folks? In all of Fark the Music tab?

It's a dumping ground. No one comes to the Music tab.

They need their. own. personal. GI-man.

I like Sounds of the Universe. More importantly I'm tired of cheap headlines taking shots at how many fans a band has. Seems like it's the easiest way to get greenlit on the music tab even tho it hasn't been original or funny in years.

DrZiffle: They need their. own. personal. GI-man.

Someone who cares.

Seven.

I am a longtime DM fan, and I really like the new album - it's a lot of old school synths, but without sounding old-school, and the more you listen to it, the more it grows on you.. well, except for Martin's obligatory ballad, 'Jezebel' - which I now skip over. The rest of the album is awesome.

/likes even numbers

jerkobson: I'm one.

Me as well

I love Depeche Mode. So add me to the list.

Might go to the monthly Depeche Mode party at this club here in Dresden. DM has a ton of fans here and these DM parties are pretty fun. Last time I went it ended up being one of the funnest nights out in a while. Saw DM in concert a few times back in Texas and they never disappointed.

Ball of Confusion: He's totally straight

C'mon! He's in Depeche Mode.

//and Venture Bros

Whatever, I'm going to the Tampa show later this year and I have no doubt that it'll be packed.

Hey...

Ooops.

Wrong thread.
Can someone please point me to the Wilco thread?

Fan here.

Also loves an Instant Club Hit

Depeche fan here.

Black Celebration + Music for the Masses = total win

Count me in as a long-time fan

guy_smiley,

I actually like 'Jezebel'. I don't know maybe it's just me...

I'll be pissed if Gahan dies and I wind up eating the Ticketmaster fees for the US shows I'm going to.

Another here.

I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party.

I can't stand "Peace".

"In Chains" FTW!

The headline might have been funny if there was any kind of truth to it.

Agreed, brother.

Thta said, I'm guessing the subby is being a trollmitter, because Depeche shows have crazy high turnouts, in *spite* of albums like Exciter, Playing the Angel and Sounds of the Universe.

There is a small nation of DM fans, especially in SoCal. Subby is a hick in flyover country and a Creed fan?

Yeah, as if Depeche Mode weren't sill one of the biggest pop groups in the universe. C'mon.

I've been to a Depeche Mode-themed bar. A bar. All DM all the time.

I love Depeche Mode, and I would also hit Dave Gahan like the first of an angry god. (Or whatever the euphemism for women would be.)

Observe hotness: Link (new window)

most bands could only dream of developing a fan base as rabid as DM's. I used to be one but everything after Ultra has been pretty much a fail for me..few good songs but no more solid albums...will still catch them at lollapalooza though.

MikoSquiz: Yeah, as if Depeche Mode weren't sill one of the biggest pop groups in the universe. C'mon.

Wow...(I'm being serious here)...that was/is an idea I've been lingering about for quite some time now...I'm glad/saddened that someone got to actually realize it.

*golfclap for the owner*

Can you tell me the location?

Depeche Mode is my favorite band of all time. The thing about their albums with the exception of Music for the Masses and Violator, is that the songs usually take a while to grow on me. This latest album I only like track 7 so far. The rest are so-so.

DM is my all time favorite band. SOTU is as s*ity as Exiter. I'll still be seeing them in Dallas in August. IMO... Wrong is the only good song on the album.

Fan.

Seeing them for the first time this summer.

Hope he recovers. For my wallet's sake. And, well, because I don't want him to die and stuff.
