Among the covers, Depeche Mode take the boldest approach, draping a bubbling, cybergoth energy over Buffy Sainte-Marie’s 1960s protest song ‘Universal Soldier’, a scathing deconstruction of conflict.
In Your Room is the best song in the entire Depeche Mode discography. A masterpiece!
This album is beautiful musically, but unfortunately the vocals are very barren and sound common, like hundreds of similar ones. With a better vocalist, this album could go down in history. Unused potential
I was hoping that producer James Ford, after breathing new life into Depeche Mode and helping them create a really good album (Memento Mori), would repeat it with Pet Shop Boys, but I'm disappointed with this album. The producer is important, but what is more important are good songs; unfortunately, the material provided by Pet Shop Boys on this album is weak.
Really good remixes.

This song has crazy crossover appeal. Metalheads, rockers, fans of country, pop fans....you name it. Basically, fans from all genres of music dig this tune.
A classic Depeche Mode song that is the child of ''Precious'' and the grandson of ''Enjoy The Silence'', the same melancholy joy
Memento Mori this is the highest form of music for the soul, not for the masses. Dave and Martin have created a specific concept and stuck to it for the entire fifty minutes of Memento Mori. The specter of death lurks around every corner, but it is not an image that inspires fear but rather hope. This whole album is a hope, above all, that such a legend is able to observe the world so closely that they can respond to some of its ills with his songs.

"Only a fascist Trump supporter and Jared Leto fan could write such a review. You have no respect for anything; only yourselves and your preferences matter. You are intolerant of differences and the fact that Violator's album is so important to the LGBT community. I'm ashamed of you."
On barcooper's review of Depeche Mode - Violator
"great review, but I have to point out one important thing, Dave Gahan is the singer, Martin Gore is responsible for the lyrics and songwriting in Depeche Mode, all 9 songs on Violator are his own"
On microscopechick's review of Depeche Mode - Violator
"Don't worry about ratings and critics' reviews. In 1990, this album was ignored in almost all 'album of the year' rankings. In the following years, it was rarely mentioned in the media as the best album of the 1990s. Meanwhile, ordinary people have been appreciating and still admiring this album for over 30 years. This is more important than stupid rankings dictated by corporations and large record labels."

"Dude, do you realize that the album has 9 songs and ends with Clean, the rest are B-sides of singles?"

"This is not an album for everyone, it is very specific, has its own strange atmosphere, but not everyone will understand and love it. This music just isn't for you, that's all"
