About
For the Masses is a 1998 tribute album to Depeche Mode, specifically the works of Martin Gore; the fact that no songs by Vince Clarke or Alan Wilder were chosen was not a coincidence. The album cover and title were both inspired by Music for the Masses, a 1987 Depeche Mode album. The project was started by the band members of God Lives Underwater, David Reilly in particular, and features a wide array of bands including The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Rammstein, and Meat Beat Manifesto. Foo Fighters and Marilyn Manson wanted to do tracks but schedule complications prevented them. Manson, who wanted to cover "Personal Jesus," eventually did so for his greatest hits album in 2004. The tribute album got considerable press by the media and the band. Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins performed the song "Never Let Me Down Again" with Depeche Mode at the KROQ Acoustic Christmas concert in 1998. The "World in My Eyes" cover by The Cure also appears on the Cure box set Join the Dots.
