The darkness of the song combined with the upbeat tempo- reminds me of ABBA in that sense. The child speaking in whispers reminds me of petulance and the school yard.
It is done. It is a very Strange point in their career. Very expérimental but necessary In their artistic progression. After that they kept some elements from this industrial sound but with a enoooooormous catchy twist on melodies. The following stuff will be amazing for decades…
Seems you’re wearing the Route 66 top, have you heard DM’s version of Route 66? It’s a banger, especially the mix with Behind The Wheel, from the time of Music For The Masses!
You are right, when making this album they actually went to a construction site and recorded the sound of hitting metal pipes and things like that. Sampling was very new back then so this was an experimental album, and following on they continued to use sampling, it’s just not as obvious.
Honestly.. After decades, you give a point of view on the song that i can really agree with and never thought before... You got it right with the description of DM in the end. ✌🏾😅
Not their best for sure but dont expect to hear such songs elsewhere.. Like most of Depeche songs.. It takes more than just one listening to fully understand the complexity of the songs... I can tell you that may be Construction time again is very very experimental... Get ready for true awesomeness from now on.
You are wearing a Route 66 t shirt, & Depeche did a Great cover of Route 66 connected with Behind the Wheel. You will hear them when you get to Music for the Masses!
@@MUSiC-world-20986 yes i think too ! Not the only that MUTE has released as promotional they did the same for HALO later (7inches and 12inches). Did they think to released them as official singles a that time ? For me an error they didn’t ! These two would have been great official singles. I think they did it too for PLEASURE LITTLE TREASURE but it was a B Side officially
The second verse of this song has some of the most clever rhyming in a Depeche Mode song; I just love it. I also appreciate “Construction Time Again,” as it has my all-time favorite DM song in “Everything Counts,” not to mention the beginning of their brief period of flirting with industrial music.
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel
Thank you George!!
One of my favorite DM songs ever. The melody is catchy. I like your reaction to the song.
I LOVED this song!!!
What made you like this song?

I've been waiting for this. Finally I can sleep well at night again. They have so many good tunes it's impossible to pick a favorite one.

Still CTA is so much better than SGA, but after that they became really really good.

Never heard that song. Was a bit of a coincidence haha

Holy moly thats INSANE that was a pure guess haha
Now remember what I said about the next and last song "And Then"..... There is a little surprise after it finishes... So don't pause it 🙂
Ok i wont!
If it’s creepy, then I guess I like creepy! I love that part!
You're gonna have so much fun with the next like 5-6 albums especially with Black Celebration and Songs of faith and devotion
Can't wait to hear more 😀

My favorite songs from Construction TIme Again. This song should have been a single !
I think it was a promotional single

good review ! next one is very different but probably still better according to me (incredible voice, incredible chorus, atmosphere ...)
Route 66!!! On yo shirt...you should hear Depeche Modes version! 😆
It was a crazy coincidence, i only got this shirt for my last birthday 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never noticed the creepy child until the end before. Usually distracted by all the other sounds going on. And I like the new background behind you
Aww thank you! And yeah it turns out thats dave singing that part haha
Yeah. Its crazy how he done that voice haha
Hi seph and thank’s for your react, amazing song and top 5 all songs for me . This is the sound of depeche 🎵👍
Im thinking this is going to be very high on my list of best DM songs too!!
When I bought this album on cassette. I played this track over and over again.
This is quite light compared to their next stuff
Is it wrong that im *Happy* you said this? 🤣
@@SephPlays Ha ha ha not all 😀

Cant wait for you to get to I Want You Now by DM, you'll be suprised for sure
I will get there! 😀
I think this song was inspired by Queen, the chorus and sounds are very Queen'y.
I can guarantee you will appreciate it... I won't tell you what it is, as it WILL spoil the surprise
😯😯😯😯
Love this one!
Good to see some new D.M songs posted. Cheers!
Plenty more to come too :D
Love your tangents...no worries...you should see Daves wacky dancing to this song...think it was Hamburg🤔
I'll definitely do another reaction video to this live song in the future!!
Great synths, catchy tune..... creepy kid? Dave whispering...
Thank you for pointing this out. I would have never had guessed it was him haha
Bro "The Cure" is right for you!
