"Blasphemous Rumors" was on allll of my angsty mix cds as a teenager.

While I like their newer material quite a bit, I think the last truly excellent album was Exciter. The newest one, Spirit, also really grew on me after a while, but they will definetely never recapture that vibe they used to have in the early 90's and the 80's.
I like Black Celebration a lot too. "Stripped" and "Here is the House" are two of my favorite DM songs. "Blasphemous Rumors" too!
It's quite overdramatic, but I love those synth lines. There's just an atmosphere to that track that will always amaze me.
