Mat Mayer's Album Reviews
The perfect Depeche Mode album. 101 is a live album compiling most of the best songs from the band's 80s compositions. The sound of the crowd adds to the feeling that this was a special concert to attend. The accompanying documentary was the coolest thing I had ever seen as an 11 year old. Dave Gahan's stage presence was thrilling, as were the big stadium sounds of this awesome electronic pop music. Depeche Mode took their music higher than other pop bands, it was at times slower, plus they had their hard hitting construction samples. This felt like a real band creating something special, and it still does today. Magical!
