About this album
Some Great Reward is a pivotal Depeche Mode album, sharpening the band’s early synth-pop into something darker, more assured and more confrontational. Released in 1984, it captures the group as they moved beyond lightweight electronic hooks towards a harder-edged sound built on stark rhythms, layered keyboards and Martin Gore’s increasingly probing songwriting. People Are People became their breakthrough hit in several territories, while Master and Servant and Blasphemous Rumours showed a band willing to mix pop instinct with social tension and moral unease. The result is one of the records that helped define Depeche Mode’s long rise from club favourites to major international synth innovators.
