 Devotional January 8, 2006

In 1993, Depeche Mode released this reworking of their “Songs of Faith and Devotion” album, from that year. Testosterone and bravado ooze from every track, just as they do on the original album. Witness, Walking In My Shoes, where an industrial press of a rhythm section brutally pummels the song into life, or the gospel-ish Condemnation, which leaves the listener feeling both enriched and uplifted. Every song has been remoulded to suit the live arena and the results are both stimulating and exhilarating.
DM at their absolute rockiest (if that's a word). June 14, 2005

The studio version of SOFAD is renowned for its departure from the "classic" Depeche Mode sound; from the almost heay-metal 'I Feel You' to the beautiful symphonic 'One Caress'. The live album manages to rock that little bit more, dirtying up the mix sufficiently for the best head-banging experience one is likely to get from listening to this band.Dave Gahan's voice holds up extremely well, bearing in mind this was a torrid time indeed for him. Martin Gore's genius never ceases to amaze me; check out the guitar riffs on 'Mercy In You' - it's worth buying the album just for this track. Alan Wilder introduces us to the unique spectacle of a member of Depeche Mode on drums! Personally, I would have preferred this album to have been a live album for the Devotional Tour (featuring stunning performances of 'World In My Eyes' and 'Enjoy The Silence'), rather than a live version of the SOFAD album. The track list is identical to the studio version, but there is sufficient variation in each mix to make this worth buying. The synth strings on 'One Caress' don't really hold up by today's standards but you've got to admire them for not just piping in a tape. All in all, great stuff. Rock on!

Live albums always contain one or two surprises but the surprises are all on the box with this Depeche Mode release. It is exactly the same songs as SOFAD and in exactly the same order.Luckily for them, the quality of the songs and the energy hold the album together even if Dave's voice is a bit flaky in places (Condemnation for example). Most of the songs are also different enough from their studio masters to create a surprisingly different listening experience - Higher Love being a case in point. It is nice enough for the average Depeche Mode fan like myself but I can't see the more discerning music fan parting with more dollars for this after they've already bought SOFAD.
