Francois you are very welcome Sir and I would be honoured if you'd agree to an interview with me on my channel. I can assure you that my entire community of subscribers would be over the moon if you agreed to it!! Cheers to you Sir!! VG:-)
I hope you enjoy part 1 of my Violator album review series and remember that you can see all the previous Depeche Mode album reviews by searching in my previous videos !! VG :-)
Of course my friend.....!!!!
I ALLWAYS ASK FANS OR GUYS LIKE YOU WITH A CHANNEL IN TH-cam AND NEVER KNOW WAY THE ROSE IS CUT IN 6 PIECES! DID YOU KNOW WAY???😐
Excellent Vaughn. Please go as geeky and deep as you can. This album deserves it. Also it would be brilliant if you would explain the different vocal harmonies in the songs!
@@jackgahan149 ask anton corbin - he was the art "direction" for DM during that period.
Excellent analysis and interpretation of the music you and all on here enjoy and love.
Good humour always helps
The sound is still as fresh today as it was then, an incredible achievement.
It's the album out of time!
👌
Agreed. I still listen to this album regularly. Definitely one of my top 5 albums of all time 👏🏻
And a happy 70th birthday to Daniel Miller, unappreciated genius!
I believe he's not 'unappreciated'. DM mentions about him all the time
@@oceane_chin
I mean Unappreciated by most people in general, not necessarily the fans or the band just people who might like the band but don't take time to study or read all the notes on their albums
Violator made it impossible for the mainstream to ignore DM.
Violator is a masterpiece. Epic and made history in music. It was my introduction as well into DM. Beautiful in every way.
Amen brother !! VG :-)
"Violator" and "songs of Faith and Devotion" are my
all time favourite records. Almost impossible to choose one over
the other. But i think i like "Songs of Faith and devotion" a bit more.
Will you also go into the b-sides like Dangerous, Khaleid, Sea of Sin and happiest girl? These tracks aren’t simply b-sides and have a quality of their own.
Your "Mart and Alan in the studio with the "Shake the Disease" demo" impression is pure gold. I figure this was pretty much exactly what it looked like.
hahahaha yeah cheers my friend !! VG :-)
Looking forward to this series, you can do a Bonus episode on the six B-sides "Dangerous", "Memphisto", "Sibeling", "Kaleid", "Happiest Girl", and "Sea of Sin". Sea of Sin and Happiest Girl being my two favourites and I haven't found any info on those two tracks, how they came about etc.
For sure !! A series on the B-sides for sure!! VG :-)
I agree. The B-sides from this album are very good and could have been A-sides IMHO.
Dangerous has always been one of my favs.
DM fan since 1983.
Dangerous is underated & better than alot of Violator songs.
@@validcore Dangerous is one of my favourite songs ❤ and it is sad that it wasn't even played live for once
Vaughn the Flood story is absolutely true. I’ve heard him recount it in numerous interviews.
Violator is absolutely stunning. It's perfect. I must have listened to it hundreds of times!
The long awaited review, just in time for a quality spent Sunday afternoon.
I hope you enjoy this !! VG :-)
Looking forward for the blue dress and waiting for the night episode... When I listen to it, I feel like I'm floating while fireflies flying back and forth inside my head are making those beautiful sounds.
"Blue Dress" is one if my vernal favourites too!! VG :-)
14:20-14:23 killed me 😂
By the way, about metal names, Dave stated that at one point they considered calling their latest album “Maelstrom”, but they thought that it’s too metal
Kraftwerk : Computer World
Depeche Mode: Violator
Erasure: Chorus. Best albuns of the World .
Kraftwerk: Die Mensch Maschine is their central album!
@@EtsiJuuret ok ! It could be too 😁
Watching this review made me feel like hearing the opening intro of the World Violation tour. You immediately feel that there is something unforgettable coming from behind these curtains and with your video now the curtain falls and we just about to see them live on the peak of their creativeness!
Violator - The best album they ever made!
I'll drink to that !! VG :-)
@@VaughnGeorge toooniaaaght!
Most fans think Violator is the best. I go against the stream and put Ultra at the top.
@@johanjohansson7717 ULTRA is Incredible!! One of My Favourites but VIOLATOR is Simply UNIQUE! My Favourite & BEST album by Depeche Mode!!
Its Black Celebration for me.
An absolute masterpiece. I’m not overstating when I said that musically, it changed my life.
I get what you mean Brian !! It was the same for me!! VG :-)
Enjoy the silence is timeless and takes me right back to 1990.
What is the version at the beginning of this?
@@VaughnGeorge
Just realised it is your expert playing
Really looking forward to all the episodes for each track. Thanks for making these.
Love the instrumental breakdowns, keep up the good work Vaughn!
Great overview, Vaughn! I see that the way you tell the story has dramatically improved since the early videos, thank you so much for your work!
Seriously Vaughan, what you are doing with these album reviews is phenomenal. I love that you are doing these in so much detail. Great great videos. It must be a lot of work, but appreciate it so much.
I would love to see an extensive interview between you and Flood on this album(ten parts as well)
Thank you for a review buddy! Looking forward for part 2 🔥
That was a great introduction, Vaughn! I can't wait to hear the song breakdowns and piano improvs. Take care!
Thank you !! VG :-)
I'm very much looking forward to this album review series.
Yeah, finally, the long awaited Violator album review has arrived! Great introduction Vaughn! I'm obsessed with Alan's strings arrangements in general, so I'd love to hear some geeky stuff on that, especially in Halo and Clean. Can't wait to see and hear the next video! And as always, a very big THANK YOU for all your effort to run this channel! It means so much for us, Depeche Mode fans all over the world! Cheers from Budapest! :)
I really enjoyed that. Looking forward to part 2.
Also enjoyed our Zoom chat last night with other patreon members. Such a good group of people and well worth the small fee each month.
Love this. My favourite DM album. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series. Thank you, Vaughan.
So happy part 1 has finally landed! Great work as always, Vaughn 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you and I appreciate your kindness !! VG :-)
Fantastic timing for a chilled Sunday, time to really enjoy. Great insightful reviews Vaughn, stellar job, as usual 😁
Thank you Gary !! VG :-)
There best album from start 2 finish ....waiting 4 the night is just pure class ....and when i go ...at my funeral my songs ....will b omd messages live & the wftn live ....
Thank you my friend !! VG :-)
Well done. Looking forward to the whole series. Cheers!
You're welcome!! VG :-)
And so it begins
Vaughn,that was one helluva of an introduction.you must have been sitting for ages to get that done.Really enjoyed it and it set the proper tone I feel for what's to come.
Great band, great album & great review and upcoming serie...I'm waiting for the Part 2 to come
Finally we’re here - Violator! 🌹🖤 Thank you very much for this Vaughn. I really appreciate your channel and the great content you present to us.
When Violator came out in 1990 I was already hopelessly in love with Alan Wilder 🚨- hahaha where is the alarm? - and for me this album was THE state of art in electronic music with vocals. Just the logical consequence of what had started with the Berlin trilogy and continued with Music for the Masses.
Cannot wait for the next video because now you got me hooked and thrown back to my earlier days. 😉👍🏼 thanks so much 😍
Now I can say today is Sunday, i was waiting for this moment, now I can't wait for the ETS video, this story of Alan working on the track without the rest of the band it really fascinates me, and I think that it highlighted the genius of mr. Wilder. Thanks the lord for this
Great one as always. And Great theme mix 🎹👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you Sir!! VG :-)
Halo from Finland says Mascot!We really enjoy your channel so thank you and that bass in Halo is just so wilder and we miss him too!
Hi Vaughn. All of your videos are amazing as you are. Thank you for all of your contributions to the mode community and other bands that have the same greatness. I grew up first with Duran, the cure and then depeche. I'm 45 now and can't get enough of these bands, new info and new/unreleased material. Please keep doing this for you and us. Happy Valentine's day to everyone. Thanks to Depeche Mode i met my wife. Enjoy life and the silence .....
Hi Vaughn, I am so glad to see this video. Violator came up when I was around 15, and at that time I couldn't really realise this "bomb". In that time of growing up it was just too heavy for me - and much too dark. But as everything developed so much at this age, after one year it was one of my favs and I couldn't wait for the next album, which was - at that time (1991- only end of 1992!) - a very long time of abstinence. And then, while "Grunge" had taken up, "I feel you" appears, again with a fully re-invented Depeche Mode! But for now I am looking forward to many more "stories of old" violator... :-) I have to thank you so much for your episodes. BR, Jens
I woke up to your video notification. I had to play it before getting out of bed what a great wake up call 😍
I enjoyed your knowledge in this introduction, Sir + all the names mentioned. Such a powerful album; Alan and Flood together is just perfection. -Andy Ry Denmark.
Great video ! Worth the wait :)
Long awaited and worth it!!! Thank you for this introduction video, the whole series will be great! I would like you to incorporate an interview with Flood, if possible!!! And of course, can’t wait for the full song piano improvs!!!👍
I always lough when you say: Martin, you kinky b..... with that deep voice of his
I really discovered Depeche Mode around 4 years ago but I absolutely cannot stop listening to it.
Your channel is the perfect accompaniment to enjoying and understanding their music. Il happily be a patron, keep the good work going
Bless you Steve !! I really appreciate your support !! VG:-)
Love it 👌🖤
Cant wait to watch all the episodes on Violator, which is by far my fav DM album.
Cheers from Copenhagen 🍷😊
(DM fan since 81)
I hope from the bottom of my heart, god knows we need it, that new album will come out in 2021 and we will all have the oportunity to see them and listen to them live...Jesus, how I wish that to happen
Sorry to upset you but that is highly unlikely following what Martin said in a recent interview. VG :-(
@@VaughnGeorge What did he say?
@@VaughnGeorge Could you elaborate? No tour is understandable, but is it also unlikely to get a new album anytime soon?
@@andrewgr144 it appears that they won’t start working on the next album until they are sure that touring is possible. Who knows, maybe they’ll change their minds
Just found your channel and am so excited to watch your DM series. I will certainly watch ALL album series, but Violator will have to be frst 😉
Hey Olga !! Welcome to the channel!! I am glad you found me !! There is also a Vaughn George Facebook group with a fantastic community if you’d like to join!! VG🎹😎👍
I got hooked by Freelove Flood mix. Then an older friend lent me One night in Paris. The funny thing is that I saw the file where Enjoy the silence was corrupted, so I had to skip it. That time I didn´t know the English word enjoy, I didn´t look up the term in a dictionary, and I couldn´t just type somewhere the phrase „Enjoy the silence“ and get back at least some bars. Later I asked the older friend who gave me the One night in Paris cd that, what is their best album. He said Violator; I bought the cd, started to listen to it from the beginning, came to Enjoy and was mind blown. I repeated it a few times and was able to come to an end, notifying that the Policy of truth has got its power and that the Blue dress and Clean got something in them too, but ... the most powerful moment was when I heard Enjoy.
An absolute masterpiece of an album. I still get excited all these years later when I think back on the buildup to its release, and going to the store to buy it when it came out. I was already a fan, but I can honestly say that Violator blew my mind. Really looking forward to the series!
I could spend hours watching your videos, and this especially for what Violator means to all DM fans . Thank you for your work.
One of their masterpieces.... it's gonna be a great review series .
Keep watching !! Thank you !! VG :-)
Violator came out my senior year of high school. I'd already been a fan since Some Great Reward but this is certainly one of my favorite DM albums.
Great intro review Vaughn! 👏👏👏
I heard a story from Peter Iversen (Engineer at PUK) that “Violator”
Originated from an Alan demo circulating just prior to pre-production called “Violence”.
Martin liked the shuffle signature of the song and suggested adding in some swing to some of the songs on the forthcoming record (What would be Violator).
No fan boy worship intended, just a great account!
great video! Violator is my absolutely favorite depeche mode album but i also love songs of faith and devotion and ultra. And by the way; speak and spell came out in 1981 and not in 1982. i´m really looking forward for you detailing videos of this masterpiece violator! :-)
I would love you to display the musical notes on screen or do some quick tutorials on how to play the famous riffs and parts. I don’t play, but you have really inspired me to learn Vaughn. Keep up the amazing work.
Oh man, can't wait for next episodes!
And of course I'm "team SOFAD" - the best DM album, period.
Glad you are enjoying it!! Cheers !! VG :-)
SOFAD is the best....!!!!
I'm team Some Great Reward!
I used to love SOFAD so much until I listened to BC, MFTM, violator and SOFAD back to back, I felt a huge sense of anti climax, I don't think SOFAD has stood the test of time like the others have
It depends on my mood. One year I’ll say SOFAD another year I’ll say Violator. I just can’t compare them. They are two different times and two different styles by four changed people. But I think Ultra was an improvement on SOFAD, so that’s another strong album. The last great, classic DM then they went downhill from 2001.
Another great video Vaughn. Must give a big shout out to the song "Dangerous" that I still to this day don't understand why it was left off.
Id love to see a breakdown of my favorite DM album "Ultra". What a departure from Violator. Great video by the way, i really enjoyed it!
Great start to my day VG... Well what can I say about Violator?...
I vividly remember getting back home from HMV with my copy on release day and sitting on my bed listening to it and I almost fell off it - I was absolutely blown away by it.
I'm not going to be all fan boy but it really was a game changer and is the perfect Depeche Mode album and my favourite of all time - it's timeless, sublime & never seems to age.
Thanks for this review series - just what us Devotees need and I'm very much looking forward to the next part 😎👌
Thank you my friend !! VG :-)
Thank You so much for this Vaughn George
LoudLove DM
The b sides!!, they're as good as the main tracks, man i love that about DM
I absolutely loved this video. Violator has been my favorite album since I was 11 years old. I still find it fresh. I still like every single song. Everything you mention about it is true. I still enjoy the album from beginning to end. There is no better thing than enjoying a glass of wine while listening to Violator.
thank you for doing this
You're welcome !! VG :-)
Just amazing.... great introduction bro 👍 ...
Cheers to you brother !! VG :-)
Great job! DM fans will never get enough of their music, videos, information... To me, listening to this album is like reaching the sky, travel during the music lasts and then, come back to the floor where these lords live...real DM lovers will never be able to describe the whole feeling
Glad you liked this !! Thank you !! VG :-)
Violator was a very important album of DM for me too...always special to hear it again.
Looking forward to this series! With my band Berlin Banter we have just recorded a cover of Dangerous which we will release digitally (Spotify etc) on March 19!
Excellent VG! Never heard a Violator vinyl perspective before, looking forward to the rest of the series, possible listening party on the horizon? Perhaps.
Good idea brother !! VG :-)
You're definitely building the anticipation and excitement. This was the album for me where it all began. I was only 15 and I looked good, lol. The perfect album starting with the 'let me take you on a trip' and ending with 'the cleanest I've been...sometimes'. I loved how the tracks blended into one another, especially with the segues and fade outs, think of the ending of Enjoy the Silence's 'crucified' bit morphing into Policy of Truth. And that cover too, how many times did I try not to let my fingerprints stain it when flipping the pages. Cheers
Sometimes in life there is the perfect storm...not Martin Alan and Flood...Vaughan DM and TH-cam...sublime...
Cheers Niall!! I hope you are well Sir !! VG :-)
Vaughn, that Violator series is going to be epic IMO. Such a great album at every levels (the songs, the arrangements, production, mixing... everything was perfect). I was dying to watch episode 1 and I'm not disappointed... I have to say you're right. What makes this album so great is that Martin's demos were more simple. The best example is Enjoy The Silence. A slow ballad on harmonium became that hit (and wonderful) song through the work of Alan & Flood... It's Alan who wanted to speed up the tempo, add this dance bass line and ask Martin to play some guitar riffs on it... The best evidence that when 2 musical genius work well together the result is awesome. Can't wait for the next episode :). Thanks !
Thank you for your positive review !! VG :-)
Best, simply the best, music, lyrics, atmosphere, feeluig, visuals, videos, EVERYTHING
Indeed Anita!! VG :-)
Great , I can`t wait to see SOFAD review :) Thanks Vaughn :)
You are very welcome my friend !! VG :-)
The tonality of this album sounds warm and clean thanks to great production and mixing, but also a shift from the harshness of the FM digital synths back to the warm analog synths like the Arp 2600 and Minimoog (and others) 20 years before they became in vogue again.
And there's nothing wrong with a sniff of vinyl, my Black Celebration vinyl still smells as fresh as the day I bought it on the day of release. My Joy!
Thank you brother !! VG :-)
I was 14 years old when I first heard Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence released as singles on the radio in 1989 and loved both especially Enjoy the Silence. That song just sounds like fresh Bliss to my ears & back then I was blown away completely with how it flowed. Perfect lyrics, electronics and beat. So Violator had a major build up and expectations, the Album lived up to them all with ease. I bought the cassette in 1990 and listened to the entire thing by myself and absolutely loved it and couldn't get enough of it. I just knew somehow that it was a pinnacle Album & special. I was baffled and pleasantly surprised that they could top Music for the Masses, imo Violator was a notch over MftM. Black Celebration was also just a Classic great album and I understand alot of people think Black Celebration is their best but imho it's Violator all the way in every way. There's a reason why it's their most successful and still holds up today & still sounds timeless in the quality. Plus if you remember, the original Album was released with only 9 songs, all the others were B sides and those were awesome as well. I'm just going to say if if Depeche Mode's ultimate sound and feel had to be defined by one album. I would say it would be Violator. Every song from World in my Eyes, to Clean = D⚘️M Perfection.
Great opener for this series. Well done! I am really looking forward to you analyzing each song. I think violator is a masterpiece. This reduced, organic sound is mirrored in the beautiful artwork. World Violation was a religious experience for me with all the strange films and Martin playing I want you now on a acoustic guitar. One thing: I don’t think Alan sent off the boys to drink. There seemed to be a very toxic communication around, indirect and all. I rather think Alan and flood bored them to death so they fled. You can listen to a harmonium mix on the yellow 12“, this is very close to the demo. And please don’t forget to share your view on Memphisto. This epic track could be from the MFTM era.
Sharing Violator love was a great distraction from an otherwise dismal day at home (again). I find my fave DM songs are the ones you can feel throughout your entire body/soul (for me those are Stripped, Shake the Disease, Here is the House, Behind the Wheel, Home, In Your Room)... and with Violator, the WHOLE album has that feeling. Looking forward to Part 2. Cheers from Canada.
Yes! I have always said it was the “negative space” between the sounds in the songs of this album that is so magical. I always felt welcomed by it and the sparseness left room for me to live in the song for a few moments. This album truly saved my life as a very sad, bullied and peer-abused 12 year old.
I was 13 when this album came out, I was already a fan but this changed how I felt. This album reflected my moods and opened my mind.
Very rare that one song will not date and the album is full of them.
@@Kaitlin267 thank God we all had the Mode.
@@Kaitlin267 me too! Me too!
This is it - this is the big one. The moment when the stars aligned and when all their years of hard graft - recording, touring and countless TV appearances - paid off in massive style.
The word ‘masterpiece’ is often overused - in the case of this album it’s fully justified. This album needed no time to ‘grow’ on me ... I utterly loved it on first listen and it sent my already-rabid DM fandom into the stratosphere.
Looking forward to the episode-per-song breakdowns, particularly ‘World In My Eyes’ 😁
Thank you Dave !! Keep watching !! VG :-)
Agreed..!
Great as always ! Can t wait for the next episodes . Though not my favourite , I appreciate more and more this album and I ve rediscovered Halo which is one of my favourite songs now . I was a bit surprised when you talked about breathing between the songs since it is the reason why I prefer Music for the Masses . I feel in it more freshness , more lightness , more space for breathing , songs could have been a little bit darker but avoid being too melancholic and dark like on Violator . Perhaps we should look at MFTM and Violator like twin children of Black Celebration with their own personality .Just my personal opinion !
It would have been interesting to see how Enjoy The Silence would have sounded If Martin would have produced it instead of Alan.
I think that Martin wanted the song to be a slow ballad or something. Alan wanted the song to be faster. More up beat.
I dont think that ETS would have been such a huge hit If not Alan would have been around there.
‘Violator” could also be a reference to the fact they accepted their own past rules to be violated. Guitars,... good idea to focus on B sides. Remixes might also be interesting to mention
How could he play the remixes on a piano??))
Remember having this in the car with a band mate who wasn't a Mode fan. Even he was like "This sounds a lot more natural". Great album and with its legendary cd signing, the climb of the really wild early nineties roller coaster...
🌹
Thanks Vaughn and happy birthday Daniel Miller!
I'll drink to that! 🍻
Looking forward to episode 01 of 99! 😄
Glad to hear the B sides will be covered. Kaleid, Memphisto, alt versions of PJ and Enjoy the Silence all were so good.
One of the best electronic albums ever, the end.
Violator was the first Depeche Mode album. I love this album. One of my all time favorite albums. I would love Vaughn if you did a separate video of the incident of the album signing. That turned into absolute nightmare situation that could have been way worse. Thank you Vaughn 😎.
Oooooh this is a great Valentines Day Present. An album I love getting a start in the royal treatment of review. 9 parts plus a conclusion! Oh yes! This is how it is done.
Why i can like this video only once :( the best review ever!
Bless you Alice!! Thank you so much !! VG :-)
excellent introduction to my favorite d m album totally agree it is a listening experience to play the album in full from start to finish
The best band’s, best album, reviewed by the best channel on TH-cam!
Thank You Murry and I wish other people shared your enthusiasm for this channel because I don't know how much longer I can keep bashing away at this as it is not growing. Sad but true.... VG :-(

@@murrynathan you are a diamond !! I really really really appreciate your words of wisdom and advice!! You know a lot about TH-cam!! Do you have a channel too? VG :-)
Great first episode - looking forward to the song by song breakdown... would be great to also have a discussion about the official remixes of the band at some point.... the world in my eyes in particular was remixed by Jon marsh of the beloved and deserves praise as one of the greatest dm remixes of all time...kia
I remember taking the bus to downtown Worcester where I went to the music store called Strawberries 🍓 on Front St and bought "Pretty Hate Machine" by Nine Inch Nails on vinyl.
I then trudged on up Pleasant Street to used record store Al-Bums and bought new "Violator" by DM.
Both records were played all the way through many times as I worked on art work, taking in way too much marker fume action, being inspired by top notch music.
"Violator", though, still resonates, still inspires, still gets played in the car and continues to inspire.
Hands down my favourite album of the entire canon. I saw DM in Jozi - the Violator Tour. A great show, but at the time of Dave’s low point. Happy Birthday Monsieur Miller! Nice intro Vaughan! By the way, couldn’t you get an exemption to play DM music, aka, a copyright pass from DM. Your channel MUST add significantly to ongoing sales? 👍
Hello fiend!! That is a good idea but I am just a small fish and I doubt that Depeche Mode would ever talk to me let alone grant me permission to use their music!! VG:-)
if you wanna „hear Violator with different eyes“ ... listen to Nine Inch Nails „ Pretty Hate Nachine „ ... check the producer and production date...
what you try to describe in the end and to put into words ... is art ... (in sports you would say „he makes ist Look so easy“)
