Talk:Music for the Masses

Songs not played live
"This is the first album where at least one song was never played live."

This is contradicted by the DM tours article which at the very least notes that "Sometimes" was never played. --David Bixenspan (talk) 13:14, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Removed sentence
I removed this: The album is the third and last Depeche Mode LP to have a full, lyricless composition ("Pimpf") as a standard track on the album (so far). The other two are Speak and Spell with "Big Muff" and A Broken Frame with "Nothing to Fear". Although Ultra, Exciter and Playing the Angel have at least one instrumental track, they are generally considered short interludes instead of full instrumental compositions.

It's another way of saying "this album has a long instrumental, others have short ones" and is entirely uninteresting. Damiancorrigan 22:26, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

"Duh" trivia
"The title and cover art of the tribute album For the Masses were inspired by those of Music For The Masses." No, really?

Regarding the comment involving the girls and the moaning (in the Wikipedia entry), if you actually read Mr. Wilder's response on his site regarding this subject, he did not seem to mean it in a literal sense but rather appeared to have been joking about it.
