Wanna check out a death metal band that has a very similar sound to Depeche Mode? I got an analysis right here: th-cam.com/video/7_dDl6m4c0o/w-d-xo.html
I recommend «Never let me down again» (1987, euphoric), «World in my eyes» (1990, cool), «I feel you» (1993, rocky), «Stripped» (1986, experimental) and «People are People» (1984, industrial). Always great production value.
I love Depeche mode, but this track is not even close to being near my top song for them. That being said, I’ve always loved the ending of this studio version of the song. That’s when the true Depeche Mode…ness kicks in. I’m always disappointed when other reviewers just review the video version where this ending is absent. Recommend you review Halo from this album and Stranglelove from music for the masses. The atmosphere they generate in the studio/ album version on Stranglelove is fanatic.
If you like the song "In Your Room" you may like the song "Walking In My Shoes" or "I Feel You" they are both off the same album Songs Of Faith And Devotion. Another song is "Barrel Of A Gun" which is another hard hitting song it is a little rocky. Well a little rocky for DM since they are mostly a synth band
Everybody is different, and likes different things. There's nothing wrong with not liking this song, even though I love it. I appreciate your ability to give your personal opinion, even if it could possibky alienate viewers. For merely educational purposes, and from someone who witnessed this songs debut, it directly contributed to the ZZ Top album Eliminator, and NIN entire career. On a side note, the band members were not hostile to, or mocking of faith, only that fact that faith was for sale.
It's also notable how in this track traditional rhythm elements (hi-hats, ride / crash cymbals or their electronic counterparts) are replaced by strange filtered tremolo sequence and various bleeps and delays, making the track sound both slow and fast at the same time and leaving the kicks and tom-toms more naked and pronounced. Absolutely iconic rhythm track, instantly recognizable from hearing one second of it.
Personal Jesus was a major different sound for the band and brought to ears to the band. Guitar and live drums. Violator is still there best selling album. Peak DM. Still sounds fresh now
You need to listen to “I Feel You” from Songs of Faith and devotion. It does something better than I’ve ever heard any other production do, the 1st minute and a half of the song sounds very sonically full, but after the first Chorus the song opens up and somehow gets even fuller and bigger, it’s amazing!
How is it overrated if it is the song that changed their whole perspective into making music and incorporating elements that never did before? You might not like it, but that song is EXTREMELY important for them as a career progression and sonic soundscapes progression.
Late reaction, sorry.) That stomping beats, especially prominent in the final section, were constructed from literally stomping on the flight cases where you put instruments while on tour.
Listen to Albums: Songs of Faith And Devotion Violator Memento Mori. Songs like, Personal Jesus, In your room, Walking in my shoes has diferent mix as singles and album versions.
@@tamasdmmolnar9450 I guess you like Wilder, me too. But this is my opinion about Sound Production, not music taste or composition. Meanwhile SOFAD is the apex of DM, MM is their last work, with more people working in mix, sound design, vocal layers, production. The last work of any artist is full of the learned experience across his lifetime journey.
I'm a DM fan. "Personal Jesus" is ok but it's probably one of my least favorite songs on the album. Sometimes I'm in the mood to hear it, sometimes not. But I do love the synth "jam" at the end which is cut out of the single version. If you want a tune more like "In Your Room", a song that you thought was great, try "Clean", the last song on Violator (same album as "Personal Jesus"). It's atmospheric, has dark synth orchestration, and a cool rhythm with partially live drums (just tribal toms).
Have you listened to the single version of In Your Room? Lots of Depeche Mode fans don't like it but as a Rock/Metal enjoyer I quite like it even if it's not that complex compared to the album version which you listened to in your video.
I despise the song Personal Jesus. The beat is incredibly repetitive and annoying. The funny thing is, I love the rest of Violator. Just not that song.

Try Policy Of Truth, it's a song that takes on a trip it is telling you a whole story

I've never been crazy about this track. However, I absolutely admit the ending is significantly cooler than I'd remembered.
Yeah, the synth "jam" at the end was always my favorite part. They cut it out of the single version. They shouldn't have.
@@SRMoore1178 Ahh....that could explain why I didn't remember it being so dope. :O
Its not on the single version. The pump mix is like that most of the way through
@@CntBckt try the pump mix it's awesome 👌

9:31 - Fun fact, this "guitar" is actually a very distorted scream from Dave recorded on a synthesizer😁

Depeche Mode and Trumpinator. What else do you need in a video? Thumbs up!
I recommend "Sweetest Perfection", "Black Celebration", "The Things You Said", "Never Let Me Down Again", "Halo"...

Pure gods 🙏🙏
Depeche mode is Amazing
Tons of layers...sound lasagna🤣Ty Mr Wilder...loved your reaction❤️
Depeche Mode - Never let me down ( long version)
Great analysis. For me, it's one of the weakest tracks on this album. You should check out Halo or World in my Eyes, both equally good songs!
Listen to Albums:
Songs of Faith And Devotion
Violator
Memento Mori.
Songs like, Personal Jesus, In your room, Walking in my shoes has diferent mix as singles and album versions.
Memento Mori? Be serious. Black celebration , Music for the mases dominates MM.

@@CaballeroAzteca This guy maybe can explain better than me the album MM @Vaughn George watch?v=4-zEAi84lKs&t=1637s
Fun fact: drums are not real drums but a suitcase that been hit and recorded
This has always been my least favorite of their popular singles. A prefer their darker stuff.

you should check out the Big Push doing Wade in the Water and their lead singer Ren - best place to start is Hi Ren

The Echo is only on that original Track. Live versions of that song don't have it and are more "NAKED"
Depeche Mode - Barrel Of A Gun pleace!!
I despise the song Personal Jesus. The beat is incredibly repetitive and annoying. The funny thing is, I love the rest of Violator. Just not that song.
