All of their albums from Some Great Reward to Songs of Faith and Devotion are about as good as each other.

Violator [Sire/Reprise, 1990]
Fearing the loss of their silly grip on America's angst-ridden teens, who they're old enough to know are a fickle lot, they forge on toward the rap market by rhyming "drug" and "thug." And for the U.K.'s ecstasy-riding teens, who God knows are even more fickle, there's the techno-perfect synth/guitar sigh/moan that punctuates the easily rescinded "Policy of Truth." C-

World in My Eyes is the best song
All of them are great though, even Waiting for the Night

Meh, the 3 albums before it are much better. Honestly, I'd even put Playing the Angel and Memento Mori over it.
