Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
By their very nature, best-of collections lend themselves to nostalgia, and Depeche Mode's instantly identifiable sound and string of pervasive, catchy singles are undoubtedly the soundtrack to many memories--memories served well by this fine collection of beautifully remastered songs. If you've heard any of the band's double-disc rereleases, you'll have an idea of just how good their remastered songs can sound. While there are some obvious omissions ("Somebody," "Policy of Truth"), compiling a career-spanning collection of Depeche Mode's best would be considered a challenge for just about anybody; and as this is Vol. 1, it seems obvious that there's more to come. There are a couple odd choices in the mix ("See You," "New Life") and the obligatory new track ("Martyr"), but the non-chronological mix makes these classics sound fresh and better than ever. --Alan Wiley

Best treated as a fine collection of their music,
This review is from: Best of Depeche Mode 1 (Audio CD)
This 'best of' is probably aimed at the casual fan, as diehard's will not only own all of their albums, but also the two very comprehensive hit packages: '1981/1985' and '1986/1998'. However, this may not even be enough to cater for the casual fan as there are too many big hit singles missing, which is understandable given that this is a one cd 'best of' consisting of only 18 tracks that has to cover 1981 to the present day.
This little gem is best treated as a fine collection of their music, rather than a definitive 'best of'. The joy of this cd, is that you get a lot of variety by having a great cross section of hit singles spanning their entire career, including: 'Just Can't Get Enough', 'Everything Counts', 'Enjoy The Silence', 'Precious' etc. If nothing else, this makes a great guilty pleasure purchase.

memories,

This review is from: Best of Depeche Mode 1 (Audio CD)
as I'm 42 this year, it brought alot of memories back, you know the ones, the youth club, the school discos, and so on.
So if you have good memories of your childhood this is a must.

Worth a listen DM fans,

This review is from: Best of Depeche Mode 1 (Audio CD)
Overall, a good mix of Mode's work over the years; from the bouncy 'Just can't get enough' of the early 80's through to the recent 'Precious', for me the best work from Dave and the boys for some years now. I was a little disappointed to see the omission of 'Stripped', but there you go - perhaps that's saved for volume 2, and let's hope that's not too long in the offing.
