- Critical Dissonance: This album was moderately successful with the critics, generally being regarded as a step down from Violator (though good in its own right), but became a hit in several countries and generally considered by fans to be one of their best albums.
- Eclipsed by the Remix: Zigzagged by "In Your Room". The Zephyr mix for this track made by Butch Vig is very smooth and bouncey. However, many true fans believe that the less accessible album version is better.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: While Violator often gets touted as Depeche Mode's masterpiece, many fans believe Songs of Faith and Devotion to be the band's strongest effort.
