The following clip of Martin doing background vocals for a song on the album is nothing short of priceless:

Based on the band's online update they just made I believe we'll get to know how this sounds in 2 and a half weeks from now.

Official site states that "the rest of the universe" will get the song on radio on the 23rd, but we'll see how that turns out. Hopefully it picks up. I mean, the album's called Sounds of the Universe. Who couldn't want to be a part of that!

Well I was never honestly all that huge on "Barrel of a Gun" but most other stuff I agree with as far as great lead singles.
I liked "Precious" more than "Dream On" and I quite enjoyed that one. "Dream On" was the first current DM song after I got to know them. When I listened to my pop radio stations in the mid-late '90's (I'll say '97) I knew "People Are People," "Enjoy the Silence," and "Personal Jesus," all still played as golds by that point. Sporadiacally I'd end up still hearing all 3 songs over the years, much more the latter two obviously.

Cover art revealed for the album: Oh, this is a hot Ministry remake. I was late to saying that. A main readership probably knew it was a matter of time. I know I'll get the chance to soon hear it and don't want to kill my anticipation too much. I'll be mad, though, if it doesn't at least outpeak "Suffer Well," but feel that it will.

Disappointed... what the hell is this? ???
It's not I Feel You or Dream On... it's not even a Precious... :(

It's just okay for me. It might be a grower. I'll probably like this a lot more in remixed form. Per the official message boards, Peter Rauhofer and Frankie Knuckles are doing the remixes.

I enjoy it, based on that live performance. Not one of the best songs they've ever done, but very solid song.

Depeche Mode - Wrong
Lyrics: I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy I took the wrong road That led to the wrong tendencies I was in the wrong place at the wrong time For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme On the wrong day of the wrong week I used the wrong method with the wrong technique Wrong Wrong
There's something wrong with me Cannot be something wrong with me Inherently The wrong mix in the wrong genes I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means It was the wrong plan In the wrong hands With the wrong theory for the wrong man The wrong lies, on the wrong vibes The wrong questions with the wrong replies Wrong Wrong
I was marching to the wrong drum With the wrong scum p***ing out the wrong energy Using all the wrong lines And the wrong signs With the wrong intensity I was on the wrong page of the wrong book With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook Made the wrong move, every wrong night With the wrong tune played till it sounded right yah Wrong Wrong
Too long Wrong
I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy I took the wrong road That led to the wrong tendencies I was in the wrong place at the wrong time For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme On the wrong day of the wrong week I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Near the middle of the song I half expected the world to end. It sounded like a song designed for that. Then I started thinking, this almost sounds like something Trent Reznor would write. Maybe that's an ignorant thing to say, I don't know. Either way, I like it. It's a creepy kind of song, actually, and there aren't enough of those lately.

I was hooked on first listen, by the live version, no less. I'm really excited for the album now.

This song is a real grower. Much less disappointing than U2's single.

Depeche Mode is up there with Metallica for my favorite '80s band. Based on the descriptions, I'm looking forward to hearing this.

I'll be mad, though, if it doesn't at least outpeak "Suffer Well," but feel that it will. Not even the end of the week yet and it's already being accomplished. :)

Already their highest first-week chart appearance in this decade, besting the #37 entry for "Dream On."

Definitely more rock sounding than their previous lead single.

This has matched the peak of "Precious" before the official adds date! :o Hopefully this will have as much longevity. I don't think top 10 is out of the question, but a top 15 peak seems more likely.
