You know it. You've probably heard it.

Episode 4 - Violator by Depeche Mode

Some argue that 'Violator' is some of the best work Depeche Mode has ever produced. Others beg to differ. With a catalogue of 14 albums, we ask if this record is the clearest representation of a legendary band with a storied career.
