Depeche Mode - "Where's the Revolution" (Singles Going Steady)
Adriane Pontecorvo: The world’s coolest dads are back with a snarling, on-the-nose critique of jingoism, current politics, and, above all, a lack of full-scale revolt. Their electronics are as sharp and slick as ever, layers of rocking synths and growling guitars that build as Dave Gahan bitterly tries to fan the flames of rebellion. Depeche Mode didn’t come this far to let the masses stay comfortable. This is a band that’s here to rile the blissfully ignorant and the unduly comfortable, and “Where’s the Revolution”, has no time for the rabble that won’t be roused. [7/10]
Steve Horowitz: The Brits always thought they were children of the revolution, at least since Marc Bolan’s time, but the rebellion was always more aesthetic than political. Even the Gang of Four knew better than to take Marxist economics seriously as a map for a better world. Depeche Mode is right in pointing out that the train has left the station and we are all left standing and waiting for… something. The song pointedly asks questions without providing answers. This is a necessary first step towards awareness, but the song also leaves one hanging. Perhaps there are no answers, but the song implies we were better off when we at least asked what was the reason behind the way things are versus the way they could and should be. [8/10]
Mike Schiller: The delivery is there, even if the hooks aren’t. “Where’s the Revolution” is a beautifully produced, delightfully interesting Depeche Mode song, but Martin Gore apparently had a certain set of words he wanted to squeeze into his song. While Dave Gahan valiantly tries to twist them into something that sounds like an anthem, at no point does it feel like you could march to it, or pump your fist to it, or even shout along to it. There is some delight to be found in the nostalgia of watching Gahan preen and strike a variety of messianic poses from his pulpit—try as he might to escape it, he’ll always be our “Personal Jesus”. [6/10]
John Bergstrom: Over the last decade, Depeche Mode have preferred the visceral over the textural, and “Where’s the Revolution” continues that theme. Sonically, there’s a lot more going on than the electro-blues plodding you hear on first listen. Namely, some interesting chord progressions and the nursery-rhyme interlude. The latter is a sure giveaway that the whole protest is sincere and very tongue-in-cheek all at once. Are the vague, platitudinous lyrics deliberately so—or just clunky? Either way, this is considerably more badass than the Mode have been in a while, and Anton Corbijn’s stark/funny video gets the balance right. [7/10]
Paul Carr: This has all the ingredients of classic Depeche Mode. The gritty, proto-industrial beats coupled with that iconic, blues, slide guitar. The powerful and authoritative howl of Gahan’s vocals which crashes through with such drama. However, this isn’t Depeche Mode by numbers. Refreshingly, the band has wisely opted to look outwards rather than untangle the darkness within. By asking the big questions about our place in society the band sound reinvigorated. Bursting with revolutionary spirit, it acts as a call to arms for affirmative action. A welcome change for the band that sees them return with renewed relevance. [8/10]

Depeche Mode Reject Alt-Right Leader's Band Praise
"Depeche Mode has no ties to Richard Spencer or the Alt-Right and does not support the Alt-Right movement," rep says.
Richard Spencer, the white nationalist and unofficial Alt-Right leader whose previous connection to music was getting punched in the head repeatedly to different songs, perhaps unwittingly picked a fight with Depeche Mode at the annual conservative gathering CPAC on Thursday.
When asked if he likes rock music, according to New York magazine's Olivia Nuzzi, Spencer joked, "Depeche Mode is the official band of the Alt-Right." Though the "lifelong Depeche Mode fan" later told Rolling Stone, "My tongue was firmly in cheek," the 38-year-old speaker-provocateur expounded on his love of the group, prompting a quick rebuttal from the left-leaning band.
"They aren't a typical rock band, in terms of lyrics and much else," he tells Rolling Stone. "Depeche Mode is a band of existential angst, pain, sadism, horror, darkness and much more. It's not bubblegum pop, with frontmen who sing about 'luuuuv' and sugarplum faries [sic]. There was a certain Communist aesthetic to an early album like [1982's] A Broken Frame as well as titles like Music for the Masses but then there's a bit of a fascist element, too. It's obviously ambiguous, and as with all art, everything is multi-layer, contradictory and ambivalent."
When reached for comment, a rep for the band told Rolling Stone, "Depeche Mode has no ties to Richard Spencer or the Alt-Right and does not support the Alt-Right movement."
Unlike Spencer, who was an outspoken Trump supporter during the campaign, Depeche Mode has explicitly denounced the new president and his policies. "The things that he's saying sound very similar to what someone was saying in 1935," singer Dave Gahan told Italian media last October. "That didn't work out very well. The things that he's saying are cruel and heartless and promoting fear."
Speaking to Rolling Stone earlier this month, Gahan expressed worry about the future of America, where he's lived for the past 25 years. "As I get older, the things going on in the world affect me more," he said. "I think about my kids and what they're growing up into. My daughter, Rosie, was deeply affected by the election last year. ... She just sobbed, and I was like, 'Wow.'"
Many of the group's songs on their upcoming album Spirit deal directly with the general malaise felt by some after both Brexit and the U.S. election. Gahan sings of bigots "turning back our history" on "Backwards" and calls for change in "Where's the Revolution?" ("Who's making your decisions," he sings, "you or your religion?")
"If we want things to change, a revolution, we need to talk about it and about caring about what goes on in the world," Gahan said.
"We can all talk about whatever is going on until we're blue in the face but you have to take real action, and sometimes we don't know what that looks like," he added of new song "Worst Crime." "Individually, I believe people are inherently good, but we're really distorted by the information we get and we act out on that information out of fear."
Despite the band's longtime progressive politics – "Everything Counts" blasts corporate greed and excess while "People Are People" notes, "So we're different colors/And we're different creeds/And different people have different needs/It's obvious you hate me/Though I've done nothing wrong" – Spencer sees an aesthetic similarity between the group and the Alt-Right.
"There's always been a certain nostalgic synth wave vibe to the Alt-Right in terms of aesthetics," he says. Asked to clarify "nostalgic synth wave vibe," he adds, "It might have something to do with generations. People my age are griping for our childhoods; younger kids are grasping for an imaginary childhood. There's some '1980s' about Trump, too. That's clearly the decade that defined him. It might have been the last moment that there was a recognizable White America (or in the case of Depeche Mode, White Britain)."
