Some Great Reward

Product description Depeche Mode - Some Great Reward Amazon.co.uk Depeche Mode's lyrical content, at times impossibly contrived, is a potential source of frustration. "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours/ But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour/ And when I die/ I expect to find him laughing", goes the chorus of "Blasphemous Rumours", an anti-religion song using attempted teenage suicide and fatal car accidents as testimonial. Lyricist Martin Gore always scores points for creative rhyming, but one gets the feeling the choice of subject matter is nearly arbitrary, that the band could write equally depressing songs about a bad hair day--and mean it. But this is the fun, and maybe even the genius, of Depeche Mode. When it comes to patent controversy, they are as self- indulgent as they wanna be. "People Are People" also contained on Some Great Reward , is no less of an eye roller than "Blasphemous Rumours", but its tone is inversely inspiring to the nihilistic picture painted by "Rumours". Two other opposites that attract, the naughty little industrial-lite, S/M-coloured "Master and Servant" perfectly juxtaposes the leaning-on-the-windowsill-staring-at-the-moon love song "Somebody". -- Beth Bessmer
