Quick review: Survive - rather nice, quite mellow 8/10, Life 2.0 - good, some vocoder, crap title 8/10, Give Yourself To Me - starts slow but builds nicely, good 7/10 In The End - decent as we know, 3rd best here #DepecheMode

REVIEW: DEPECHE MODE: M

Not a concert film but a hugely enjoyable film about Depeche Mode.

OK Depeche Mode fans, this promo poster for “Blasphemous Rumours/Somebody” is at the Henry Ford Museum outside Detroit. A representation of a "teenager's bedroom from 1987.” @depechemode.com @dmdevotee.com @davidjmcelroy.bsky.social @headed4thebeach.bsky.social @permrecordpod.bsky.social
