'Where's the Revolution' - Depeche Mode

With over a dozen albums under their belt, it would seem that Depeche Mode have expressed everything they've ever wanted to over the past few decades. However, their latest album, Spirit, takes things to another level.

First off, they teamed up with James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco for the album's production. And while it's clearly a Depeche Mode album, it has elements that are a tinge more modern while keeping the essence of this iconic band. But instrumentals aside, the British musicians tackle the current political climate as well as the state of the world today. The lead single, "Where's the Revolution," has been making an impact not only on the charts but also on fans' minds. As you go from track to track, it's obvious that they have a lot to say. And even though this was recorded before the-Donald Trump and Brexit periods, the alt-rock trio have been noticing how things have been making the masses unhappy — as we hear in "Poorman." Meanwhile, "Worst Crime," keeps no one safe from accountability.

The band says that we are all responsible for what's currently going on. Despite what your political leanings are, Depeche Mode's Spirit is just one of those records that will move you. What direction will it take you? That's ultimately up to you.
