Wow! After some 18 years, could this be an unlikely contender for Mode's finest hour? Quite possibly.

Part 3.
So I did not even buy the album back then, only heard it on the Walkman of a friend. I was listening for good songs, but only RUSH got my approval. I went to the Devotional-tour concert in Budapest, but I ceased to be a "depeches" after that.
I kept on searching for the sound of the times, synthetizers, sequencers and drum machines, found EBM, then Techno, then Acid and finally Goa Trance...
Now, after 20 years, I repent and I bow before the true greatness of SOFAD! :)

Part 2.
So, imagine my shock when I heard "I feel you" from SOFAD the first time on MTV!
Instead of the techno sound of Violator, instead of hearing modern music made by sequencers, synthetizers and drum-machines, what I heard was ROCK music made with guitars and drums!
This was just one shock! The guitars in Personal Jesus was dicey in its time as well, but... what blew me away was the long haired, bearded rocker guy singing in a striped suit."Who the fuck is...OMG! Its Dave!"

I can tell you why.
A teenager in 1993, I was a Depeche Mode fan.
The music of Depeche represented the sound of the times to me: created by sequencers and synthetizers only, it was the most modern music in my eyes (in my ears :) ). The lack of classic musical instruments like guitar meant the sounds I hear were never heard in the past before.
With being a "depeches" came a certain style: short hair like Dave's, dressed in all black, Dr.Martens boots and a black leather jacket.

I never understood why this album got such a bad rap by the die hard DM fans. I think it's fantastic. I wonder if it would be better received if Ultra came out before SOFAD???
