This is actually where they lost me, I hate to say.

@bijouxbroussard [i]Huge[/i] fan of their stuff all during the 80’s, up until “Violator” was released. Probably letting my negative listening experience of that CD color my opinion moving forward, but it struck me as less densely layered than their previous output.

@SevIsPamprinYouAlways Violator is poppy with airbrushed production.

Songs of Faith and Devotion, the album after, was better. It's dark and very layered.

@Burnley123 “Airbrushed production” is a perfect description! I’ll have to give SoFaD a tommorow on Spotify
@Burnley123 @SevIsPamprinYouAlways I liked them from the very beginning and saw them perform "Dreaming of Me". In spite of that, "Violator" was one of my favorite of their albums. I guess I got something from it that others just didn’t.

@bijouxbroussard I do like Violator. It has good songs but I just think sofad is better.
