Depeche Mode's debut is at once both a conservative, functional pop record and a groundbreaking release. The band became the undisputed founders of straight-up Synth Pop with the album's 11 songs, light, hooky, and danceable numbers about love, life, and clubs. Credit for the album's success has to go to main songwriter Vince Clarke; the classic early singles 'New Life', 'Dreaming of Me', and 'Just Can't Get Enough', along with 'Pretty Boy' to 'Photographic' keep everything moving throughout.
