Thoroughly. And often. Like their stuff up through Violator the best, but all of it is great.

edit: and now Blasphemous Rumours in all it's industrial goodness is blasting thru my speakers.drinks

“People are people”i good song:thumbsup: .

It's got a good beat and melody, but the lyrics are too preachy for my tastes.

I was in the US Army in the early 90s, and was stuck on a training exercise in the middle-of-nowhere, Texas where all I had was the new DM album, so I listened to "Violator" on CD for days, on a cheap boombox stereo.

Overall, my favorite album is "Music for the Masses", but my favorite song is "Everything Counts."

Violator was such a crucial step on my music journey. I was a freshman and spun that cd on repeat many a time. Still a fave of theirs but i like their early-mid 80's shizz a whole lot too... and DM is still influencing me,my current music collab borrows a lot from synth-darkwave styles.
