MUSIC FOR THE MASSES

Product Information

The album starts out with Never Let Me Down Again, a strangely endearing look at drug use. This song is still one of my favorites. It starts out slow enough, and then builds to near chaos. Next, we move through The Things You Said, Strangelove, and Sacred. And then we get to Little 15. This song is amazing in its simplicity. It feels like a dark, disturbing waltz. And Martin Gore's obsession with fifteen year olds never gets boring.

In April 1988, the group played four dates in Japan. This was followed later in the month by the start of a second North American leg, which began in Mountain View, California. The entire tour concluded mid-June with a concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, where the band performed in front of a sold out crowd of 60,453 people. Cinquemani, Sal (2 November 2002).
