EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Nov 14, 2006; Lead Performance: Depeche Mode; Genre: Pop

A single-disc trip through every phase of the synth lovers' catalog — from '80s new-wavers to electro-pop arena rockers. Extras New song ''Martyr,'' a slide-guitar-laced lament. Worth the cash? For Goth's sake, yes. This comprehensive album beats out their four previous confused compilations.
