The dudes in Ghost have a penchant for covering poppier bands and it rules. Their cover of Depeche Mode is no different than the others; it too rules.

The thing that makes this cover what it is is that it's pretty doomy and simplistic to about 1:40, where it takes this really strange waltz-in-4 kind of feel that I can't really explain.
The song drudges on from there and touches on some major key work, and of course Papa Emeritus nails it with all the vocal harmonies and whatnot. Apparently this was a bonus track for Infantessumam in Japan, which makes me jealous of the Japanese once more. We want the bonus stuff too!
Ghost have previously covered The Beatles and ABBA
So what do you think about this? Does it belong in the band's repertoire?
