John the Revelator. Put him in an elevator. Take him up to the highest high.Take him up to the top where the mountains stop. Let him tell his book of lies

John the Revelator. He's a smooth operator. It's time we cut him down to size. Take him by the hand. And put him on the stand. Let us hear his alibis

By claiming God - As his holy right. He's stealing a God from the Israelites. Stealing a God from a Muslim, too. There is only one God through and through. Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again. Seven angels with seven trumpets. Send them home on the morning train. Well who's that shouting?. John the Revelator! All he ever gives us is pain. Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator! He should bow his head in shame

Check out the screwed up but interestingly funny video from Depeche Mode.

John the Revelator is the 2nd track from Depeche Mode's Playing the Angel album. I decided to experiment with the vinyl rip of the album after seeing comments that it sounded better than the cd version. True enough it was and I appreciate how warm the songs sounded. Songs from cds are bright as in if you turn up the volume, you can feel your ears hurting a bit. Warm sound, like the sound of vinyl is soothing to the ears even at loud volumes.

This has led me to experiment with vinyl rips of Led Zeppelin IV and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon albums for comparison with the CD version. The verdict: CD may sound loud but vinyl > CD when it comes to details and sound quality. Hopefully Muse upcoming album The Resistance will be released in 24bit/96kHz vinyl as well.
