Fors Yard: Feb 15, 2008; Aside from getting shot in the head, David, what have you done with yourself?

this is so

vince clarke was holding them back and they got infinitely better after he left. black celebration, music for the masses, sofad, and violator are absolutely amazing. with masses and sofad just being god tier in particular

now andrew fletcher was definitely the one that could make sure things were good because everything after he left mostly sucked (dm, spirits, sotu are just god awful).

Fletcher is still in the band. Alan Wilder was the secret ingredient. Martin wrote a good song, Alan produced and arranged it well and interestingly. Dave is a great singer. Fletcher does something? Alan Wilder's solo stuff is pretty boring but with the framework of Martin's songwriting he added a lot and had interesting textures and sounds to use.

Fletcher was shown on a Delta Machine promo video intently turning a knob looking like he was doing something, but it was a modular synth with zero patch cables plugged in so it wasn't actually being used so he was just pretending.

Worst DM songs:

Pipeline
Flexible
Everything on Spirit, Delta Machine, or SOTU
Personal Jesus

I said what I said

I agree about Personal Jesus. I like the lyrics but as a song it is so boring and does the same thing. I always skip it.
