I knew it! Apologies, there was just no other way to dress it up

Understandable if you love it though. I'm sure I'd react the exact same way if one of my faves was met with a "meh :sleep:"

But to each his own and all that jazz!

Here Is The House is one of my favourites from Black Celebration, I also love Sacred and Nothing from MFTM

I love the remix of Nothing (I think it was double A side to Everything Counts/101 version).

'Nothing' is one of my favourites in general! It's one of their tracks I took an instant like to

What are your least favourite DM songs?

I think mine would be Leave In Silence, Peace and Sister Of Night

'Peace' definitely! I tried and tried with that song but it just left me cold, only good bit is the end. Plus the video annoys the hell out of me.

'The Things You Said' I don't like. Thought it could've been a grower, but I find it really limp :yawn:

Considering it's from Violator, I didn't really like 'Waiting For The Night'. It's another one that I just feel nothing for. It's the only one on Violator that I actively skip.

I have to ask, what do you think of 'In Chains'?

There are a couple of their songs that I like purely for comedic value eg.the tune to 'Told You So' just makes me think of some bad 80s cop drama

'Dressed In Black' is kind of bittersweet because me and my ex used to laugh at the beginning because it sounded like music that'd be used to a ye olde horror film. It had like a Transylvanian vibe to it! Or so we thought...

Not heard that album in a while. Currently putting all their albums on my i-Pod one by one and as I'm only putting A Broken Frame on my i-Pod next week it will be some time before I get back to it

I know what you mean about Dressed In Black, it's a cool tune though

lol, I think Little 15 has a similar intro to Dressed In Black and Told You So reminds me of a funfair.

Not sure if this was mentioned or not but I think Rush is a brilliant song.

Ahhh, ok I think 'Wrong' and 'In Chains' are the best ones on SOTU.

'Rush' seems to be a grower for me. Didn't instantly think "wow" when I heard it (unlike a couple of the others from SOFAD) but it's one I'm taking more notice of.

I remember thinking Wrong wasn't bad but having been burned by also buying the last album by The Cure (so much worse than SOTU) I wasn't really in the mood tbh

I didn't like Peace either, in fact there's very little to like on SOTU IMO (apart from Wrong).

Never liked Love In Itself much either.

The video for Love in itself is a bit random

I see what you mean by that, it's in a cave for goodness sake! Great song though.

Just put A Broken Frame on my i-Pod as part of my goal to put all their albums on. Leave In Silence sounds incredible tinny and poorly produced but the album is in no way as bad as I had anticipated

I think it's aged remarkable well on the whole and I actually like this album a lot more now than I used to.

I think the band disowned the album in hindsight due to it's unabashed bubblegum pop direction but good bubblegum pop still deserves some merit and they've written nothing as delightfully chirpy as The Meaning of Love since, so for that track alone it's well worth a listen. Just wish they'd have included the transitional Get The Balance Right on there.

I'll be adding that from The Singles 81→85 at some point

Ooops... just spotted that Get The Balance Right is on my copy of Construction Time Again

I guess it was a bonus track and probably deserves to be on CTA more so than ABF.

I hate inbeween singles, they generally fantastic but tend to get lost/forgotten (Kate Bush's December Will Be Magic...) about or tacked onto the end of an album as a bonus track, thus spoiling the general feel of the album (Soft Cell's Torch).

Anyway, I love Get The Balance Right, one of my favourite DM songs.

It's weird going through my collection as I appear to have a copy of the People Are People album that I got second-hand in the US... I don't reckon it is worth anything though
