Violator is Depeche Mode's most mainstream, chart-climbing album. Although it contains only nine tracks, half of them are tailor-made for the dance floor. This album was conceived when dance-club DJs were gaining recognition alongside original composers. Heavily influenced by techno-pop, the singles "Policy of Truth," "Enjoy the Silence," and "World in My Eyes" prove that DM did their homework. A particular highlight on this fantastic album is the bluesy guitar line Martin Gore lays down on top of the synth-dominated grooves on "Personal Jesus." --Beth Bessmer

Violator is, without a doubt, Depeche Mode's magnum opus. Every track is meticulously crafted, blending dark, moody synths with haunting lyrics and infectious melodies. From the iconic "Personal Jesus" to the ethereal beauty of "Enjoy the Silence," this album is pure perfection from start to finish. The production quality is stellar, and the sound still feels fresh and relevant decades later. If you're a fan of electronic, alternative, or just great music in general, Violator is an absolute must-have for your collection!

Between Music for the masses and Ultra, I think speech mode were at their best and Violator was their pièce de résistance.This vinyl edition makes the listening experience even better by sublime mastering and a great pressing.

This album was so well recorded and produced. The vinyl version is really good too. Had fun rediscovering this ground breaking electronic album on vinyl. It’s an incredible work of art.

So many excellent songs on this album, including some prominent singles. I've owned this album on just about every format since it first came out. I am extremely happy with the quality of this CD. As for the album itself: I think it's not only Depeche Mode's best album; I think it's one of the best albums ever made.

This album almost makes me feel as if I'm listening to their best of or greatest hits! I say this in good faith n will! Each song is a standout... Martin Gore at his best in thinking through the tunes and putting it all together...A must have for all Depeche Mode fans, 80s music vibe lovers and generally for guys who appreciate good electronic music of 80s!Not many can parallel what Depeche Mode has done in mainstream pop music through use of dominantly electronic stuff... Yet never giving a feeling of enough and over done! Their subtle approach has helped it giving their music that endurance I suppose.Get this album and Music for The Masses! You will not regret it at all.Cheers... Enjoy it
