There's no question: This album can't be described as just "synthpop". Look at the SOFAD and Ultra material: There's almost no "synth pop" there at all BY DEFINITION. And even the other stuff is too different from most other synth pop material, so more genres should be listed. Alternative Dance and New Wave or Dark Wave AT LEAST should be there.

Besides, MANY albums/singles have 2-4 genres listed (or if not, should have them listed), not 1.

Though those 2-3 genres should be added, please keep the article protected so those other retards won't edit them out. Angry Shoplifter (talk) 04:38, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the second time I've seen you be abusive to other editors. Please stop of you will be reported to admins. --JD554 (talk) 08:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of how "abusive" or "threatening" I am, those 2-3 other editors are plain WRONG. Simply, INCORRECT, WRONG. WRONG!!! If SOFAD and Ultra aren't true synth pop (which is by definition, as there's almost no new-wavish ness in them, not synth-dominated, etc.), and that those two plus MFTM and Violator are very alternative-esque, only "retards" would describe this album as just synth pop, let alone being a compilation with more of the modern Depeche Mode than the 80s Depeche Mode.

Protecting this article because of the genre wars is reasonable, but it's ABSOLUTELY FREAKING STUPID to protect it under the just "synth pop" as opposed to 3-4 genres side, as the other is completely absurd. Keep the protection, but add the genres please. "Alternative Dance" and "New Wave"/"Dark Wave" (choose one) Angry Shoplifter (talk) 05:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
