Depeche Messiah – Christ Cuck

Depeche Messiah – “Christ Cuck” (1987) Depeche Messiah finally asked the question nobody else in British synth-pop had the courage—or good sense—to ask: What if turning the other cheek had a bassline? After years of worrying about bloodlines, Britain, and whether they were the chosen people, the lads discovered an even more powerful calling: just give up the pride entirely. The result was Christ Cuck — a dark, unapologetically dramatic 1987 anthem about three British men discovering that getting the last word isn't nearly as satisfying as letting Rabbi Jesus have it. Turn the cheek. Lose the pride. Serve the King of the Jews. And apparently... bring the wheelie bins. 🎵 CHRIST CUCK! You call it humiliation — I CALL IT SALVATION! Another completely unnecessary release from Ruddy Records.
