1001 Albums Summary

This was definitely new for me, yet had songs I was familiar with. Kind of dark, and 80’s-ominous. Bet the concerts were great. Fun fact: “The album explores the heavy themes of guilt, religion, sexual fetishes, nihilism, misanthropy and drugs, but songwriter Martin Gore felt these issues were a realistic depiction of life.”

It was good! I wish it was on Spotify :/ “The album's success caught Young off guard and his first instinct was to back away from stardom. He would later write that the record "put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there."[10]”
