In October 2005, Depeche Mode released their 11th studio album Playing the Angel . Produced by Ben Hillier , the album peaked at No. 1 in 18 countries and featured the hit single ” Precious “. This is their first album to feature lyrics written by Gahan and, consequently, the first album since 1984’s Some Great Reward featuring songs not written by Gore. ” Suffer Well ” was the first ever post-Clarke Depeche Mode single not to be written by Gore (lyrics by Gahan, music by Philpott/Eigner). The final single from the album was ” John the Revelator “, an up-tempo electronic track with a running religious theme, accompanied by “Lilian”, a lush track that was a hit in many clubs all over the world.
