Title: One of their darkest and best songs!!!
Review: In the vein of "Songs of Faith and Devotion," "Barrel of a Gun" is one of the hardest, darkest, and downright good tunes that Depeche Mode has ever put out. This song rocks with great guitars, pulsing beats, eerie sounds, and great vocals. It's a great opener for the "Ultra" album, starting from where the band left off with singer Dave Gahan's drug problems. It's almost prophetic to that situation, but everything from that record was somewhat coincidentally related to Gahan's addictions. No matter, the remixes are great (except for the Underworld Hard Mix, which is your standard techno mix), and the "Painkiller" B-side kicks ass with that noir-ish bassline. This single rocks!!!
