Music for the Masses
1987
Mute
It was an outrageous title, meant to be a joke at just how things seemed to be going for them, but by the end of the Music for the Masses tour Depeche Mode filled the Rose Bowl, as documented in the famed D. A. Pennebaker film 101, and it was increasingly clear they were arena bound. The music reflected that, bigger than they ever had sounded on “Never Let Me Down Again” and “Behind the Wheel,” moodier and more haunted than before on “The Things You Said” and “To Have and To Hold,” and hitting twisted grooves with “Strangelove.”
