Washed-Up Depeche Mode

I have a very interesting article called"Why Washed-Up Depeche Mode is the Best Band You Aren't Listenting To" which you will never read. The gist of it is that after Violator, Depeche Mode took a nose-dive in popularity but spiked in almost all other respects.

Two quick points: 1. I know Songs of Faith and Devotion saw a considerable amount of popularity, but the follow-up song-for-song Live version was a horrible marketing decision, but may have been the fire that created the phoenix of WuDM. 2. "Washed-Up" refers to popularity only. I borrow the term from many a sad band that reunites, or continues on past their prime. Such would be the assumption here, but the whole point that I am making is that the contrary is true.

So now there is another single out, maybe even a new album already. Needless to say I am excited, but apprehensive. Not that the quality will dip, but that it may spur a resurgance. This would kill the pet band nature of WuDM and return them to "mainstream alternative" status. Pet bands are always cooler, but I would continue to listen if the fans returned in droves.

Final point: Yes, I am basically saying that It's No Good is better than Everything Counts (In Large Amounts.) Rehab kicks hair dye's ass. Wanna make something of it?

You should have posted the article ;)
everyone should give the new cd a chance cause it grows on you like old depressed fungus with some nice beats that remind you why you liked em in the first place.

You are aware that you can actually post to this blog? Surely you must be, you have already done so.

Maybe if you are nice to me, I'll post the article.
