ISBN 978-951-1-21053-5. Not to forget 'I Want You Now', one of Gore's beautiful a capella episodes - once again questioning both, time and lust, built on a simplified male-female sigh-snippet - sliding into a spy-like theme, 'To Have And To Hold'; indecipherable radio message giving the impression of voices echoing in one's head, all paranoia with morally induced lyrics. 'Nothing' is another impressive standard which sadly wasn't given a chance as a single - its an effectively negative statement, which indirectly (in terms of lyrics) echoes Gore's spiritual and materialistic doubts, once expressed in 'Everything Counts' and 'Blasphemous Rumours'. The album starts out with Never Let Me Down Again, a strangely endearing look at drug use. This song is still one of my favorites. It starts out slow enough, and then builds to near chaos. Next, we move through The Things You Said, Strangelove, and Sacred. And then we get to Little 15. This song is amazing in its simplicity. It feels like a dark, disturbing waltz. And Martin Gore's obsession with fifteen year olds never gets boring. Whether this is Depeche Mode's side to 'Songs From the Big Chair' or not, 'Music for the Masses' finally cemented their status as one of electro-pop's finest craftsmen. It was preceded by the singles "Strangelove", released on 13 April, " Never Let Me Down Again", released on 24 August. Two other singles followed the release of the album, one being " Behind the Wheel", released 28 December, and the other being " Little 15", which was released on 16 May the following year.

Behind The Wheel is next, one of the more popular singles from the Album. I Want You Now is probably DM's most straightforward song. That made it unexpected, as the meaning of their songs is usually hidden below the surface, and crawl up slowly. But there is absolutely no mistaking what this song is about. I would say that this song is sexuality that drives right to the point, whereas the songs are usually soaked with sensuality that creeps up on you. I didn't like this song the first couple of times I heard it, for that reason. But it grew on me, and now I love it. Kent, David (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970–1992 (illustrateded.).
