Music Review: Depeche Mode - The Best Of, Volume 1 - Page 3

There is also a bonus edition containing a DVD of their music videos. It looks to be a more expanded version of their previous best-of DVD. Although with a couple of omissions, it seems a welcome addition to anyone not already owning the first.

But regardless of my gripes, the CD is what it is. And is it a good collection? Yes, it's actually very good, and any casual to moderate fan of the group would do very well to pick it up. As far as sheer hits and singles go (not knowing if or when a Volume 2 will be released) this is the best single-disc collection we'll receive from the band, and it contains almost all of the necessary tracks to make it essential to any music collector's library who doesn't already own many of the proper albums from the innovators and masters of new wave synth-pop: Depeche Mode.
