(For optimal results, read the post title in Starbuck v. Hammer screech-mode.) With the new album right around the corner, Depeche Mode release the video for their new single, “Wrong.” Hmm. Definitely not as catchy or as DM-definitive as “Precious” off the last album, but I could see this growing on me. That minimalist electroclash jeep-rock beat reminds me of the “In Your Room” remixes back in the day, and there’s something about that chanted tinny-industrial refrain — Wrong! — that wouldn’t seem out of place on Music for the Masses or Some Great Reward. In any case, it’s good to hear the band isn’t flinching from the synths anymore.

Really? I think it’s crazy catchy. It’s been my earworm all week.
My knowledge of Depeche Mode doesn’t extend beyond the ‘Best of’ and ‘Violator.’ What’s the next step?
I’d say Black Celebration, then Music for the Masses. If we’re talking this truncated Best Of, tho’, you could also go for the multi-disc Singles set, which includes more of the hits from all the albums.
