Reseña
La discografía de Depeche Mode recibe una inyección de energía y agresividad con este álbum. "Playing the Angel" marca un regreso a un sonido más crudo y directo, dominado por el poder de los sintetizadores analógicos vintage. Por consiguiente, el disco suena potente, distorsionado y, a menudo, conflictivo, abandonando el minimalismo de su trabajo anterior por una producción mucho más robusta y enérgica, liderada por el productor Ben Hillier.
Además, este álbum es un punto de inflexión por otra razón fundamental: es el primero que incluye canciones escritas por el vocalista Dave Gahan. De hecho, temas como "Suffer Well" demuestran su talento como compositor, aportando una nueva perspectiva al universo lírico de la banda. Es decir, la dinámica del grupo se renueva y fortalece. Himnos como "Precious" o "A Pain That I'm Used To" se convirtieron en clásicos instantáneos, devolviendo a Depeche Mode a la primera línea con una fuerza incontestable.

[X]letra de John The Revelator
John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God - As his holy right
He's stealing a God from the Israelite
Stealing a God from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
By and by
By and by
By and by
By and by
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
By and by
By and by
John the Revelator
By and by

John the Revelator - Suffer WellVer letra 3:49
[X]letra de Suffer Well
Where were you when I fell from grace
Frozen heart, an empty space
Something's changing, it's in your eyes
Please don't speak, you'll only lie
I found treasure not where I thought
Peace of mind can't be bought
Still I believe
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
An angel led me when I was blind
I said take me back, I've changed my mind
Now I believe
From the blackest room, I was torn
He called my name, a love was born
So I believe
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
So hard to tell - The Sinner In MeVer letra 4:56
[X]letra de The Sinner In Me
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
I'll never be a saint
That's not a picture that your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I'm not renowned for my restraint
But you're always around
You can always be found
To pick me up when I'm on the ground
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
I'm still recovering
Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
But you've always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall when I start to slide
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me - PreciousVer letra 4:10
[X]letra de Precious
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?
We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through...
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give - MacroVer letra 4:04
[X]letra de Macro
Overflowing senses, heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow, I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos talking right to me
Unlimited, endless, God breathing through me
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution, one creation
Thundering rhythm pounding within me
Driving me onwards, forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening, right there before me
Brilliantly shining intricate beauty
See the microcosm in macro vision
Our bodies moving with pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution, one creation - I Want It AllVer letra 6:09
[X]letra de I Want It All
I see a river
It's oceans that I want
You have to give me everything
Everything's not enough
It's my desire
To give myself to you
Sometimes
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it's true
Somewhere I find
Something that's kind
And I've crossed the line again
A line I drew in sand
Still you give me everything
And everything's not enough
I'm ready but not willing
To give myself to you
Sometimes
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it's true
Somewhere I find
Something that's kind
Come on over
Lay down beside me
And I'll try
Come on over
Lay down beside me
And I'll try
And I'll try
I want it all - Nothing’s Impossible 4:22
- Introspectre 1:42
- Damaged PeopleVer letra 3:30
[X]letra de Damaged People
We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of
When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defense
I forget to sense
I'm dying
We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us
When I feel the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying - Lilian 4:50
- The Darkest StarVer letra 6:55
[X]letra de The Darkest Star
Oh you sad one
Playing the Angel
Isn't so easy where you're from
Oh you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me
Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me
Stay as you are
The Darkest Star
Shining for me
