Failure - Enjoy the Silence [Depeche Mode Cover] (HQ audio)

[@carlosrincon6017]

So Depeche Mode yet so Failure. One of the best covers ever.

[@Kubooxooki]

That solo at 2:14 is so harmoniously dissonant. It's quite the unexpected olive inside this cocktail of sounds.

[@ryanburks1314]

Unheralded, but one of the best covers ever. Deserves to be up there with covers like Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower and Johnny Cash's Hurt. Really needs more recognition.

[@alessandro.calzavara]

Totally agree

[@kcwithak]

yes

[@richardwatson298]

Emphatically YES.

[@TheSaturdayMorningSessions]

Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode has said he thinks it's better than their original version.

[@SirFapsAlot]

100% agree, but you should check out Trevor Something. He does a decent electric/synth cover

[@masonthorpe7327]

Failure chose to cover the 1990 hit "Enjoy the Silence", a worldwide smash and Depeche Mode's best-selling and most well-known single. The members of Depeche Mode were reportedly very pleased with the album, and with the Failure track particularly; Andrew Fletcher said that he actually prefers their cover over his band's original version. R.I.P. “Fletch”

[@TobermoryIscarabaidX]

What an honor to receive. Similar to Trent Reznor’s opinion of Johnny Cash’s Hurt cover.

[@depmodealex]

Fletcher wasn't a musician

[@Donkehy-puncharello]

Wow.... you copied the Wikipedia article so well

[@masonthorpe7327]

@@Donkehy-puncharelloThanks! I believe I copied it better than anyone else here.

[@amethystlegion]

@@masonthorpe7327 That is indeed a stellar copy, sir.

[@BCYT-14]

Rest in peace Andy Fletcher, you've helped change music.

[@clairebordeaux]

Who’s Andy Fletcher?

[@gracjanrotke]

This tribute album is amazing...I remember when it came out and I couldn't stop playing it in my truck.

[@davegehen7129]

Ich habe mir es nachmittags nach der Schule mit dem Klappfahrrad im Plattenladen gekauft und es über Monate hoch und runter gehört.

[@afa78djd]

I like how the highlight of this cover isn't the singing, it's the guitar!!! The buildup to the 1:00 mark is awesome.

[@Guido010279]

NOPE. The best Part Starts at 02:51.

[@briancurcio406]

I’m astounded by their talent and creativity... FAILURE was so unique in their sound. Even in 2019, no one has ever sounded like them.

[@Frogwai]

Hum.

[@eliseypermyakov]

​@@Frogwai Not at all. Hum and Failure sound very much different on it's own

[@MarioGomez-nd2mx]

​@@eliseypermyakov I agree 💯

[@marcpeters4599]

Similar in some cases imho - not same though👌

[@alexeyromanenko4656]

The best cover of this song ever. That was my youth.

[@BARRABAS1975ful]

Listen Lacuna coil cover. It's a Master piece too

[@kenblunk]

Can't believe this song doesn't pop up whenever I ask for an enjoy the silence cover. How is this cover not more popular?

[@zsantschi]

...that drum break!

[@ozzfan458]

one man: Kelli motherfuckin' Scott. check out his fills in the failure song "daylight". theres an outro guitar solo and with a mad bass/drum jam and the fills are all similarly amazing

[@EllakGr]

Sublime syncopating :D

[@ALK-le6pv]

Kellii Scott is one of the best drummers in rock today. In addition to his work with Failure, he was fantastic on Veruca Salt's fourth album, really gave Louise Post the backend punch to make a harder sounding record.

[@italosouza2011]

Failure on their most beautiful effort. These DM cover always makes me cry. Pure perfection.

[@GTV-Japan]

Back when I was a DJ in the 90s I played this a lot! Also r with the Cure and Self covers too. I don’t think I ever played the DM originals ever again! Oh and when I played Slingshot by On for the very first time some guy called in to say he hated the song! Into heavy rotation it went!

[@jetershomie]

Best cover of this track bar none

[@markg999]

I agree

[@theog_intraum6326]

totally agree. most covers of this song play it straight, but Failure fucks around with it and turns it into a different kind of awesome.

[@JustineSHarrison]

agree

[@X3I213]

I agree.

[@MrBumblehd]

Anberlin would like a word...

[@markg999]

Found this around 2001 and loved this cover. I think it's the best cover of Enjoy The Silence. Biggest regret is not looking more into other music they did besides a few songs. They are now my favorite band it took nearly 20 years to really discover them but I am glad I did.

[@facekidnoise]

Remember when my sister gave me this CD back when first came out! Felt in love immediately, amazing bands, great covers.

[@deooni]

probably the best cover I have ever heard

[@samfat32]

the best!!

[@thesfdoctor3603]

Seether - "Careless Whisper" Within Temptation - "Summertime Sadness"

[@otobahnmusic]

My ears camed.

[@TheJastet]

That's how I recognized these guys... I was watching a Rick Beato video regarding stuck on you, but this was the track that I remember them for. Planet is a very emblematic mid 90s album, LOVE the intro and guitar refrain on Stuck on You. Thanks for uploading!

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

I love the little sound that starts playing at 2:50

[@bongwelll]

Because each band member is so talented in their own right I think Kelliii Scott is oftentimes over looked. I’d put him up there in the same league as Bonham and Grohl. I love this band. I’m so glad they are back together. It must of been absolutely frustrating knowing that your band was better than 90% of the bands out there but because of shitty music industry politics and business practices you guys got hardly any recognition at all. Better late than never I suppose.

[@cwilliams666]

Agreed. Kellii is a beast & one of the nicest humans I've ever met.

[@ashgonza92]

He's a great drummer

[@whothennow24]

I love Failure. But nothing of Kellii’s in Failure’s whole catalog sounds more than basic.

[@dezleegraham]

@@whothennow24 He’s not a flashy drummer but I wouldn’t call him basic by any means. He more than serves the songs and the dude’s written some of the most interesting drum parts that I’ve heard.

[@thatthomasguy1319]

@@whothennow24look him up playing Distorted Fields. It’s on his personal KZbin channel. He serves whatever song he’s on perfectly, and that’s what makes a great drummer.

[@gileslin297]

Best cover of an already AMAZING song. "Failure" are so AMAZING!

[@itsnerdornothin2181]

I remember seeing the Gossip trailer and hearing this song and being like hell yeah lol

[@taptapuyo2714]

This is my most favorite of all the covers of this song

[@jonsweeney4347]

So many people have done a cover and none of them come close to this one.

[@stopbunsen]

This takes you on more of a journey than the original, and I love the original

[@tmfur9227]

Can anyone answer this for me- that dirty, grungy, amazing tone that kicks in at 1:05. How?! There's no way that it's just bass? I know Ken/failure are known for their nasty yet beautiful bass tone. But this is over the top. I love it.

[@clairebordeaux]

Tamas Forde I think it’s distortion

[@tmfur9227]

Well yeah, but you can't go grab some random distortion pedal and magically get that sound.

[@clairebordeaux]

Tamas Forde True. I’m sure there’s also quite a bit of experience & skill involved.

[@silentgloria]

Distorted bass + distorted guitar. They also played that way live

[@_S._S._]

i have your answer. bass, playing power chord. with minimal dist.

[@7Jstamper]

This is the best cover I’ve ever heard

[@dillon1058]

This song opened a whole new world for me back when my 10 year old self listened to it for the first time on the radio. Not only was it an excellent cover of one of the greatest bands to exist, but I then realized how underappreciated Failure were as a whole, immensely enjoying their albums shortly afterward, especially Magnified and Fantastic Planet.

[@notrogelsardea]

Why is this not on spotify? Is ita contract issue?

[@zephyr2002]

This is the only cover of this song I remember. Why was it so hard to find? Was all over MTV and the radio back in the day.

[@kenjones5740]

Incredible cover!!!!!

[@PedroNaider]

Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand? Oh, my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very Unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very Unnecessary They can only do harm

[@YidLitvak5771]

[@BeautifulOverdose]

amazing cover, wow!! i love it.

[@zulmachorressinclair2551]

The best cover of this song ever...

[@BigDLiquor]

Whats funny is that I heard this version first, because it came up on Spotify since I like Failure. Save it to a Playlist and didn't listen to it for some time but knowing i have 1 new Failure song.. After some time being at the bar I heard the original for the first time and was like damn I heard this once before better Shazam it. My dumb ass is now like duh its the same damn song!

[@dchoney9435]

Guitar sounds incredibly heavy and awesome.

[@vaterator]

I remember when this was released. I bought the album never having heard of Failure before, and man...that drum fill into the big instrumental after the first chorus. Perfect lead-in to what was and still is one of the best full distortion guitar tones in history. I'm not usually one to like covers, but this one is good. That said...I almost wish the rest of the song would have stayed as massive as when it first kicks in, maybe with a down chorus before the outro (played huge again). Great tune as is, regardless.

[@gracjanrotke]

This is pure genius!!!!

[@DavidFernandez-se7dt]

[@ChrisKotra]

Quite a good remix. I love Depeche Mode, and I have to say they did really well to change the sound of the song.

[@trudide12]

+Chris Kotra It's not a remix, it's a reinterpretation of the song. There is an album "Various artists for the masses" that contains reinterpretations of Depeche Mode songs from other artists. Great album.

[@davegehen7129]

Where can i hear the hole compilation?

[@MRF1983]

It's from an album of covers by contemporary bands in the late 90s called For the Masses. It's got covers by The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Dishwalla, GusGus, Failure, Rammstein and many others. Highly recommend it, you can probably pick up a fair priced copy in decent condition on eBay.
