Some Great Reward, released in 1984 through Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the US, is the fourth studio album by English Alternative Dance group Depeche Mode. Their follow-up to the well-received Construction Time Again, it refines the new style of industrial-influenced Synth-Pop developed on that album and continues its darkening of the band's output. In particular, Some Great Reward hardens the beats in the band's songs and trades out most of the sociopolitical commentary from its predecessor in favor of more personal and sexually-charged lyrics, most notably on the Obligatory Bondage Song "Master and Servant" and the overtly cynical "Blasphemous Rumours". While Construction Time Again set the tone for the band's later output from a musical perspective, it was this album that set the stage for their forthcoming lyrical direction.Some Great Reward was accompanied by three singles: "People Are People", "Master and Servant", and the double-A-side "Blasphemous Rumours"/"Somebody" (released as such due to religious concerns regarding the title and content of "Blasphemous Rumours").Tracklist: Side One "Something to Do" (3:45) "Lie to Me" (5:04) "People Are People" (3:52) "It Doesn't Matter" (4:45) "Stories of Old" (3:12) Side Two "Somebody" (4:26) "Master and Servant" (4:13) "If You Want" (4:40) "Blasphemous Rumours" (6:21)Share my innermost tropes, know my intimate details:
