Depeche Mode is King

I mentioned this to you earlier...I spent a good six hours with Depeche Mode's music over two nights. It was a make or break time for us. I came out of this six hour discussion with one clear thought ringing in my head: Depeche Mode is still awesome (except for the cuts off Speak and Spell where David has a really bad lisp...how did that get past the producer and let's all thank Vince Clarke for leaving the band and taking his terrible sunny pop with him). So, I'd like to publicly apologize to Depeche Mode for ever doubting them and I will not ignore them like I have for the past 4 years. I still think the concert I saw in SLC when I was 18 was the worst concert I've ever seen, if only for the fact that it lasted about an hour and a half when they still had a good 15 great songs in them. My expectations were so high and they were cruelly crushed. Adrienne would disagree as she thought the Happy Birthday to Martin was off the charts brilliant. I believe Mike vowed to never see another concert again after that one.
