It's possible to hear it all on this set, from "Strangelove" and "Never Let Me Down Again," through "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy the Silence," to "I Feel You" and "Barrel of a Gun." DM's output fluctuated wildly during those 12 years, as the group hit both career highs and lows. That's not to say that the double-disc compilation is perfect. The Singles 86>98 was an album that many fans, both casual and hardcore, waited patiently for, and for good reason - Depeche Mode were always more effective as a singles band than as album artists. Appropriately, the second set was much more ambitious than The Singles 81>85, spanning two discs and 20 songs, plus a live version of "Everything Counts." Quote:It took Depeche Mode only four years to assemble their first singles compilation, but 12 to assemble The Singles 86>98.
