Hmm, I can see that. But I tend to like the lulls because they're usually so pretty.

Eh, I don't mean the languid instrumentals as much as I mean some unspecified dip-in-quality song that I almost always skip over whenever I play the album (for example, "Suffer Well" is my lull on Playing The Angel).

eleven years pass...

Listening to violator w the S/O and she asked why isn't enjoy the silence the end of the side of the album?? And I was like good question so I googled "why isn't enjoy the silence the last track on violator" and this thread was the third hit AND I STILL DON'T HAVE ANSWERS. WHY ARE THERE SONGS AFTER IT ON A SIDE OF THE ALBUM. missed opportunity imo

I seem to remember hearing some sort of thing on the radio when I was really young where it was just Gahan singing 'Enjoy the Silence' over and over again with his voice being processed in all these different t ways, and being very freaked out by it. This must have been 1990 before I heard the actual song. I'd like to know what the hell it was, maybe some sort of promo?

Shot-in-the-dark question for dog latin: Was this a radio station in the process of changing ownership or changing formats? (For that matter: was it an American radio station?)

I mean, I was 9 years old but I'm pretty sure it was a UK Station, probably our local one

I think it may be the Quad mix, or one of the others, but there is a mix that has the title repeated using different effects.
