Rock Albums Released on This Day in History
The perfect daily read for fans looking to explore rock history one day—and one album—at a time.
Featured Rock Albums
1990
Depeche Mode
– Violator
Violator is where Depeche Mode stopped being a great synth-pop band and became something much bigger. It’s not just the sound of a group refining their craft—it’s the sound of them reimagining what they could be. This is the kind of album that pulls you in before you even realize it, hypnotic in its restraint but enormous in its impact.
