This is the studio recording of “Broken” performed live, and many believe it surpasses the album version in quality.

“Depeche Mode have scored their seventh consecutive Top 10 hit on the Billboard 200 with Delta Machine as Justin Timberlake achieves the year’s first million-selling album.
The veteran Basildon band enter at 6, extending a Top 10 run that began in 1990 with Violator reaching No 7 and hitting a peak in 1993 with Songs Of Faith And Devotion debuting at No 1. However, first-week sales of the new album are down on the 80,000 start of its 2009 predecessor Sounds Of The Universe, which debuetd and peaked at 3, with Delta Machine having shifted 52,000 copies last week.”

Depeche Mode’s Delta Machine Track-By-Track Preview
Delta Machine Track By Track Preview
“So this is only an instant, snap appraisal, and who knows, repeated listens may reveal flaws. But for now, Delta Machine roars out of the traps as a supremely confident album by a reinvigorated, inventive Depeche Mode. It isn’t, of course, VCMG with vocals, and there are threads here from the more recent albums. But texturally this is a very rich electronic record, rough around the edges and a huge amount of fun – there is some of the campest Depeche Mode material in here since their earliest days. I’d hazard to guess that my initial assessment of this as the best, most powerful, gothic, twisted, electronic album since Violator.”

A.J. Samuels interviews Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan
Highlights from the interview:
“So we decided to shop around and Sony came up with the best offer to make sure Daniel is still around for us, and to make sure we were able to gain control of what we’re doing. Most importantly, in 2015, we’ll be able to get control of our entire catalogue. We’ll own it. It won’t be in limbo. After *Delta Machine*, we’ll be in real control. For us, Daniel’s one of the most important parts of what we do. He’s a constant and we want to keep it that way.”
“At the end of the album, after we worked on “Long Time Lie” together, Martin asked me “Would you be interested in me sending you things to write to?” And I was like, “If it’s as abstract as just sending me interesting sounds or chords and atmosphere, then yeah, I’ll come up with the rest.” I can sit down and work out songs and chords, but I prefer bouncing ideas off someone else. I think it was Martin’s way of complementing me that I’m a good enough songwriter now. That after ten years he feels like we’re on the same kind of page.”
