In my opinion this is the most underrated DM album. I always thought that Martin Gore may have hit his peak as a song writer on Songs of Faith and Devotion, but the album was mired in the well-documented negativity that began during the recording process: David Gahan's heroin use, Alan Wilder wanting out, and Fletch's inability to hold everyone together. That all said, the songs ARE great. When I heard that this was being released in the same high definition 96k DTS 5.1 mix that made the recent Violator and Music for the Masses re-releases so amazing, I immediately snapped it up. But I am sad to say that the 5.1 mix lacks the astonishing clarity of the previous re-releases. the bass is heavy and muddy. As a result, the the vocals, keys and drum parts are at times buried in the mix. Often the surround speakers are not used at all! There is also far less imaginative use of the multichannels...often the rears are just used for "echo" of the mains. Sometimes the bvox are positioned in the rear, sometimes they're just in stereo. I really hoped that they would have spent more time taking the complex mix of this album and presenting it in an exciting way (like they did on the previous surround mixes). It's a shame and a missed opportunity to re-present these great songs to the world in a fresh way.

What really IS there to say? This album is truly amazing. Everyone has their fav DM album, at the same time i don't truly understand why a lot of DM fans HATE this album. I like the fact that the band wanted to create the music to "force" Dave's voice to sound more powerful and melodic despite the heroin addiction really messing up his voice. In some ways the raspy voice in some parts compliments the mood of the album.
I Feel You- Great start.
Walking In My Shoes- Probably one of the best DM singles imo
Condemnation- wow. dave sounds painful in this one
Mercy In You- guitar riffs are awesome, ok song.
Judas- beautiful
In Your Room- I actually like the singles version more but it's still pretty good
Get Right With Me- eh..it's aight i guess
Rush- This song kicks
One Caress- Martin has a great voice, love the song
Higher Love- this song is uplifting to me...love it
BUY This album!! If you're open about music then sit and listen to this!!

A Revolution for the band!!!
This album marked the end of an era for Depeche Mode. Every album up to this one was primarily synthesizers, keyboards, and a drum machine. Read more

People actually like this album???
Strange, I thought it was really bad. Actually DM hasn't put out an audibly palatible release since Violator. It's too bad I used to really love them and could always rely on them. Read more

A wonderful 90's album for a formerly 80's band
Songs of Faith and Devotion is Depeche Mode's second official 90's release. The first being "Violator" released in early 1990. Violator is complimented by "Songs" quite well. Read more

Wildest Ambitions
It's interesting how much Songs of Faith and Devotion polarizes Depeche Mode's fan base. Critics point to the band's middling attempts at gospel and the use of guitars and drums... Read more

The best thing DM has ever done
I guess very few people really understood this slow-digestion piece of art. It has a perfect combination between the message they're trying to transmit and the music envolved in... Read more
