Or that something is crap, as in 'Depeche Mode are pants' 
Clearly that isn't true.

In actual fact, saying something is 'pants' may be an Americanism, it's hard to tell these days, over here in the 51st state.

This album lacks the dynamic emotion and atmosphere of DM's previous 'Black Celebration'. I took the this title as the moniker after this album.

Still golden....
DM recorded Music for the Masses in the Puk studio outside Randers, Denmark back in 87. Went to their concert that fall in Copenhagen.

Nitzer Ebb did the warm up..... my hearing did not recover until late afternoon the following day.

Your moniker prompted me to write something less than complimentary.

But I will refrain.

Just after writing that, I had a look on the song meanings link, and found the following possibly insightful post:

this is just a shot in the dark, but this song was written in the 80s when DM were heavy into the whole drug scene. i think that "he" may be the drug itself, and Gahan is saying how euphoric it is to be having this experience

(Anyone know why the feck the 'quote' in the HTML editor isn't working? )
 
Also keep in mind that it was usually Gore who wrote the lyrics. I always thought that Gore was probably hetero (and deeply kinky, if "Master and Servant" is any indicator), given that he had a rather long common law relationship with a woman. Apparently, though, the boys have started making out together onstage at concerts. Whether that's outright closet-vacating, some much-delayed bi-curiosity or a cynical play to gain a younger listenership will have to be left as an exercise to the reader.

And I've heard from other (not at all reliable) sources that "he" in the case of this song is heroin.

I'm glad I worked like a crazed dog during the '80's.Those 14 hour days caused me to miss most of the music.

I was just musing on the same thing. Bill's penchant for '80s British synth pop (well, okay The Clash wasn't pop much less the synth variety) keeps things interesting. What we need is Flock of Seagulls and Mike Store's runaway hair. {#Lol}

Wow, you must play Poe-Control before this track fairly frequently, because as Control came to a close, I heard the start of Never Let Me Down Again in my head before it actually started on Radio Paradise.  Just struck me as pretty funny & I had to comment!

Not deserved...even if you can't stand a musical style, such a note can not be given to it's best representative band. My opinion, though.

It's funny how our tastes change with age. There are a lot of 80's bands that I HATED back then, and love now (Guns&Roses, Bon Jovi, and definitely Depeche Mode.)

 Loved the CD when it came out.  The wildest most surreal experience I had was with this CD. 

I was driving into Dallas to see my girlfriend, it was late at night and a huge storm was blowing in, there is a point on the drive where I could "look down" on the city and as I was reaching this point the storm hit.

I watched the city just disappear in front of me and just get very VERY dark.  It was just SO wild seeing this and thinking something just removed the entire city of Dallas from the planet with this song playing
