Yes. They have made some great records including 3 albums I would give top marks to. They are also one of the most consistently brilliant live acts I have seen.

They are horrible.
In the very beginning when Vince Clarke was in the band, they were brilliant. They knew what they were - a catchy as hell pop band - and they made music accordingly. "Just Can't Get Enough" and "New Life" are perfect pop songs.
Then Clarke left and the douche bags in the band actually thought they were something more than a pop band. They actually started writing songs of social conscience! Check out these ridiculous social conscience lyrics they came up with:
"People are people so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully."
Wow. Who needs Bob Dylan or Arlo Guthrie when you have such lyric writing like that.
The band sucks. At one time they were fun, then they just became unintentionally funny.

I've learned to appreciate some of their darker moments...(Initially, despised the early stuff with a passion..Now, I tolerate it...)...Some really good videos...

I'm a fan -- more so of their earlier stuff.
