It was originally released on 28th September, 1987 by Mute Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis album is a culmination of Depeche Mode's middle-period experimentation. More informed by Goth than techno, it is still anchored by plenty of the larger-than-life-baritone melodrama so distinctive of David Gahan's vocals. The most experimental track is \"Pimpf\" - a song that heave-hoes along with the synthesized emulation of a Russian men's choir. Although nowhere near fast enough to be danceable, the commanding \"Never Let Me Down\" ranks as the best single on the track, with the most hummable \"Strangelove\" coming in at a close second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach song is a praiseworthy accomplishment, but the singles here set off the experimental tracks, making the album seem thematically schizophrenic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322623668601,"sku":null,"price":18.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/depeche_1505069536_crop_550x550_aa7a03ce-d894-4736-8c35-74fe5f55bd3d.jpg?v=1787902614","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/depeche-mode-music-for-the-masses","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
