Whether this is Depeche Mode's side to 'Songs From the Big Chair' or not, 'Music for the Masses' finally cemented their status as one of electro-pop's finest craftsmen. Mathur, Paul (3 October 1987). "Rubber Bullets". Melody Maker. London. ISSN 0025-9012 . Retrieved 5 January 2014.Not to forget 'I Want You Now', one of Gore's beautiful a capella episodes - once again questioning both, time and lust, built on a simplified male-female sigh-snippet - sliding into a spy-like theme, 'To Have And To Hold'; indecipherable radio message giving the impression of voices echoing in one's head, all paranoia with morally induced lyrics. 'Nothing' is another impressive standard which sadly wasn't given a chance as a single - its an effectively negative statement, which indirectly (in terms of lyrics) echoes Gore's spiritual and materialistic doubts, once expressed in 'Everything Counts' and 'Blasphemous Rumours'.

The album starts out with Never Let Me Down Again, a strangely endearing look at drug use. This song is still one of my favorites. It starts out slow enough, and then builds to near chaos. Next, we move through The Things You Said, Strangelove, and Sacred. And then we get to Little 15. This song is amazing in its simplicity. It feels like a dark, disturbing waltz. And Martin Gore's obsession with fifteen year olds never gets boring.
