Artist: DEPECHE MODE
Title: SOME GREAT REWARD
Street Release Date: 07/07/1987
Domestic
Genre: ROCK/POP

Amazon.com

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 antireligion 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. Depeche's first U.S. single, "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-colored "Master and Servant" perfectly juxtaposes the leaning-on-the-windowsill-staring-at-the-moon love song "Somebody." --Beth Bessmer

I am a fan of Depeche Mode and every album and every song is a must in my music collection. This album striked me with it's powerful album imagery from the moment I first saw. Take a moment to appreciate the cover art and then listen to the awesome music.

I love it, I have been a Depeche fan for more than 30 years, I have this album on Vinyl, but I wanted to have this one on CD. I bought a DAP and I want to have it in lossless audio and not in MP3. Thank you

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have in any Depeche Mode collection
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2009

This will be the fourth purchase of this ablum over a 20 year time frame. I still have the lp vinyl, just wore out my 18 year old cd, and picked up the two disc cd/dvd version when I started to look for a replacement. I couldn't find this single cd version in the store at the time I wanted it, and really wanted the one disc version to replace the original CD I had to replace. You'll learn all the words, and it is a good combination of young Depeche Mode and an introduction to older Depeche Mode. All though People Are People was the first song from this album I heard on WLIR on the radio years 20 years ago and ran out to get the ablum, over the years, my favorites have changed to Stories of Old as my favorite song on the album, with Lie to Me, Blasphemous Rumors and Master and Servant as my next favorites. Get this one, you'll love it!

Something to Do-cute and catchy

Lie to Me-great song

People Are People-meaningful, first song I hear from them on this albu

It's Doesn't Matter-slow and realistic

Stories of Old-my favorite on the album

Somebody-slow and senual

Master and Servant-very sexy. This song is perfect. After 20 years, I still listen to this song and laugh like the first time I heard it.

If You Want -catchy

Blasphemous Rumors-very sadistic and dark

This IS album is the Most Complete album and Best with Alan Wilder since Black Celebration and the 2 Best Songs Are " It Doesn"t Matter a Song about a man who has unrequited Love for a woman and is unsure if she feels the same for him, I had tears in my eyes the 1st time I heard it today, and the 2nd Best song is "Blasphemous Rumors a song about a young girl who finds god late in life but ends up on a life support machine, Very Powerfull self doubt about Gods Dealings with a person !!! Alan Wilder made amazing contributions to this album !!!!!

I got what I paid for a good collection of DM records. There was damage to the package was stated before I bought the items. So I think next time I will shell out the extra 25 for a completely new package. It still looks great with the rest of my DM collection. The records sound great as do the download. It is nice to have the downloaded in one group. The seller was great and upfront so no issues there.

For me this was the best Depeche Mode album... or maybe i just heard it first at the right time for some of it to hit home..
be that as it may it's a great album still all of these still hold up today.. even with the 80s production values... which is pretty good for this style of music really.
1. Something To Do
2. Lie To Me
3. People Are People - truisms
4. It Doesn't Matter
5. Stories Of Old
6. Somebody - one of the greatest love songs... too bad it's not more known
7. Master And Servant
8. If You Want
9. Blasphemous Rumours - classic irony of life indictment

5.0 out of 5 stars Just one of the many Depeche Mode Must-Haves
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic album and any DM fan should have this in their collection. As with all DM albums, there are some songs that can be found on other albums. I bought a used copy to include in my "digital format" collection to replace my analog cassette. I originally bought the album back in the mid '80s; and this album still has the magic feeling all these years later.

I noticed that there is a remastered version available and in hindsight I would have opted for that since I am a bit of an audiophile. However, if you do not have a HiFi system the original CD is good quality for a normal system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Um dos discos da minha vida
Reviewed in Spain on September 14, 2023
Verified Purchase
Eu tinha 11 anos quando estes disco foi lançado mas só o conheci aos 14. Ainda assim, mudou a minha vida. "Master and Servant" e "People Are People" são as mais conhecidas musicas deste album, mas "Behind The Wheel" e "I Want You Now" (e na realidade todas as outras), são músicas para a vida. São aos 14 anos e são 40 anos mais tarde. Depois há "Somebody", que me fez sentir não estar sozinho nos meus mais intimos desejos para a vida.
Esta edição é sem dúvida uma mais valia para qualquer apreciador ou fã dos Depeche Mode, muito cuidada ao nível do som e da capa. Indispensável em qualquer coleção que se preze, um dos grandes (maiores) discos da banda.
