This music is made with blood and guts, and knocks almost everything else they did into a cocked hat. It's an astounding one off fusion of rock, blues and electronica.
The film about the making of the record is very funny and straightforward - everyone seems amazed still that they actually got through it.
Ah, the good old days.

This album is an outstanding piece of work, and now having watched the Excellent DVD that comes with it it's even more so ! Just the fact that it was ever made in such fraught circumstances is amazing, then considering the condition of Dave Gahan at the time makes it a classic piece in their history. I personally really like the 5.1 mixes. Granted they don't do the masters justice as some of the complexity has been lost however it is interesting and a welcome addition as a bonus feature.
SOFAD is second only to the King of Depeche albums the mighty Violator and comes in very close with simply epic tracks like Walking in My Shoes, Higher Love, In your Room and Rush. I love it and it really is a tribute to all thier talents. Shame poor old Alan Wilder had to leave after the crazy devotional tour that followed but this will remain a lasting tribute to Depeche Mode at teh peak of their mighty Powers. Awesome.

It was quite a shock when this album was first released. The first single, "I Feel You", was a huge change from what the band had done before, and on top of this they looked radically different, none more so than Dave Gahan who had transformed himself into a long haired, bearded, tattooed rocker.
The enormous sound and loud guitars of "I Feel You" set the tone in some ways, and this is an altogether rockier Depeche Mode than before, but also far more consistent. As good as "Violator" was, its second half was a patchy affair, but this time around the quality is sustained throughout, and for a change even the album's "Martin Gore moment" ("Judas") is excellent.
Some of the credit for the excellence of this album must go to Alan Wilder. This was his last album as a member of the band, and he evidently added an awful lot to their sound, playing live drums and working on the arrangements, and to be honest they've never been anywhere as near as good as this since then, so his departure clearly took something away.
Best tracks: The enormous "I Feel You"; the epic "Walking In My Shoes" (my favourite Depeche track to date); the stunning "Condemnation" (how on earth did Dave sing so well when he was a heroin addict at the time?); "Higher Love"; "In Your Room"...
As for the additional material in this deluxe package, the documentary is superb, featuring interviews with the band and other personnel. Everyone talks candidly about the fact that this album, and its subsequent tour, almost destroyed the band. It's a gripping portrait of the band. There are also some additional tracks (the B-sides from the album's singles), and a 5.1 mix of the entire album.
Better than "Violator", and better than anything they've done before or since. Their best album, and best tour too. Simply brilliant.

15 Years on.... It's still brilliant
This album was realeased during March 1993. I can't believe it's 15 years old. Now to be fair, I was always a big DM fan, so i might be biased. A bit. Read more

Great documentary, but the 5.1 remix lacks something
As with the other collectors edition albums so far ( 6 in total), this has been remastered and remixed in 5.1, with extra liner notes and a 40 or so minute documentary. Read more
