Pro Reviews: People Are People
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The unexpected American success of "People Are People," which remained the band's biggest U.S. hit until the start of the '90s, prompted this statesideonly compilation, very much a dog's breakfast of new and old songs alike. Earlier album cuts such as "Pipeline" and "Told You So" appear here, but the four new tracks understandably received the biggest attention. The title track itself, though the bandmembers have long since expressed embarrassment over it, still sounds like what it became, an engaging, instantly memorable pop hit if the lyrical sentiments are among Gore's most naively sociopolitical before or since, Gahan delivers them strongly, with Gore providing a fine counterpoint vocal. Musically, the explicit use of sampled metallic crashes and detailed production throughout makes the song one of the strongest incorporations of industrial music techniques in a more listenerfriendly manner. Of the three other new tracks, "Get the Balance Right" is the strongest, a wickedly barbed but beautifully sung lyric on political/lifestyle posturing with a killer synth line melody. "Work Hard" veers towards the monotonous, while "Now This Is Fun" has a nice moody intro to recommend it. Given that both "People Are People" and "Get the Balance Right" ended up on the band's first proper singles compilation, this collection is now rendered one solely for the hardcore fans.

Pros: The beat and complexity of the music
Cons: generally dark statements about people
This album, way back when in the times of hair metal and soft rock, is the album that turned me to liking the "alternative" music scene. I could not get enough of the driving force of the keyboards, and to think there were no guitars or drums? This was and still reigns as one of the very best albums I have ever heard.
