"Rush" sits on Songs of Faith and Devotion, the album Depeche Mode released on Mute in March 1993, with Martin L. Gore writing and Dave Gahan singing lead. This was the record where the electronic outfit behind Violator went looking for something darker, heavier and more rock, their ears turned toward the alternative rock and grunge boiling over in America.
It came at a price. The sessions unfolded while Gahan was struggling with heroin addiction, tensions inside the band grew through the album and the long Devotional Tour that followed, and it proved to be the last Depeche Mode record made as a four-piece, with Alan Wilder quitting in 1995. The album still debuted at number one in both Britain and the US, a first for the band.
