The peak of the band's industrial-gone-mainstream fusion, and still one of the best electronic music albums yet recorded, {|Some Great Reward|} still sounds great, with the band's ever-evolving musical and production skills matching even more ambitious songwriting from {|Martin Gore|}. People Are People appears here, but finds itself outclassed by some of {|Depeche Mode|}'s undisputed classics, most especially the moody, beautiful Somebody, a {|Gore|}-sung piano ballad that mixes its wit and emotion skillfully; Master and Servant, an amped-up, slamming dance track that conflates sexual and economic politics to sharp effect; and the closing Blasphemous Rumors, a slow-building anthemic number supporting one of {|Gore|}'s most cynical lyrics, addressing a suicidal teen who finds God only to die soon afterward. Even lesser-known tracks like the low-key pulse of Lie to Me and the weirdly dreamy It Doesn't Matter showcase an increasingly confident band. {|Alan Wilder|}'s arrangements veer from the big to the stripped down, but always with just the right touch, such as the crowd samples bubbling beneath Somebody or the call/response a cappella start to Master and Servant. With {|Reward|}, {|David Gahan|}'s singing style found the metier it was going to stick with for the next ten years, and while it's never gone down well with some ears, it still has a compelling edge to it that suits the material well. ~ Ned Raggett Music>Music>Vinyl>BN.com Vinyl>BN.com Vinyl, SUPER D INDEPENDENT DIST.
