mala Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 A few of you have mentioned Depeche Mode's Violator as a lesser known album. I think Violator is one of their most popular albums. If you like Violator, and you're not really familiar with DM's other stuff, I recommend you check out Ultra. Ultra is the second to last album they released. Exciter (their latest one) is pretty good, but Ultra has that old-school DM feel. Also, Dave Gahan's solo album, Paper Monsters, is worth checking out. I'm sure many of you have heard a remix of his first single from the album, Dirty Sticky Floor. His bandmate, Martin Gore's recent solo album is also good. Black Celebration, Music for the Masses, People Are People, and Catching Up With Depeche Mode are great, older, lesser known (to some generations) albums by DM.

mssabina Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 i wouldnt say that violator is a lesser known album, as it's one of their best and most popular but i'm always surprised by how many people never even heard of ONE of the tracks on there... possibly because people my age missed the whole DM era... but you're right, i guess their earlier stuff would better qualify as lesser known than violator...

JonStephen Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Violator is very popular, but amongst people in their early twenties/late teens, this album is definately a lesser known album just for the sheer fact that its 20 years old.
