4.0 out of 5 stars Depeche Mode - 1990-93., January 22, 2005

The fifth box set by Depeche Mode covers the period from 1990 to 1993. During this era, the Mode were multiplatinum superstars and enjoyed back-to-back hit albums "Violator" and "Songs and Faith of Devotion," the latter of which went Number One. Here, we get the singles "Policy of Truth," "World in My Eyes," "I Feel You," "Walking in My Shoes," "Condemnation," and "In Your Room," with the remixes and b-sides as they originally appeared on the 12 inch singles. I always liked the Mode's 1990 "Violator," but "Songs of Faith and Devotion" was an all too vain attempt to blend electronic music with grunge. Still, it yielded some decent results such as "In Your Room" and "I Feel You," and I also liked the b-side "My Joy" and the Adrenaline mix of the album cut "Higher Love." In my mind, the most successful of the six discs is "World in My Eyes," which has the excellent b-sides "Sea of Sin" and "Happiest Girl" and Jon Marsh's house remix of the title cut. In fact, all the remixes of "World in My Eyes" are true standouts, but Marsh's version is the true winner. While this period may not cover Depeche Mode at its most inspired, it's still a no-brainer of a purchase for diehard completists.

4.0 out of 5 stars You should know this..., January 12, 2005

Musically and lirically the best box. Average cost per song, also the best: 56 tracks on 6 discs. Then, why not 5 stars? Let me explain you: the boxes are the lightest one: two can fit in a case designed for one regular case. No booklet, just a piece of paper as a sleeve. If you know that buying independently will cost the same, but you will receive a regular case (which also is stronger) with a complete sleeve, why not doing so? because in this box you get a lot more songs, more remixes, more live version. So finally, buy this.
Again, I live in Peru, southamerica, and it takes only 1 week to have them here. Thanks again Amazon!!!!! You have a greatest service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Service!, September 6, 2009
