This is a remix, anyhow. Similarities between this version and Depeche Mode doesn't reflect particularly on New Order. The original's on YouTube as well, and has way different backing music.

To each their own. I believe Dave Gahan is an excellent singer, I mean technically he's very good, but I can't stand his feminine mannerism, it makes me cringe all the time. He just doesn't do it for me as a frontman, just my opinion.

It doesn't matter who came first, I just think that New Order are more talented and more genuine. This is coming from someone who used to like Depeche Mode more than New Order during their peaks. Anyway, it's ok if you like them equally too, they're both good, I was just sharing my view of things.

I also like New Order & Depeche Mode but I don't think New Order has as good of a presence as DM. It's difficult to compete with Dave Gahan as a frontman in that respect.

Blue Monday, the original version, was released in 1983 and at the time, Depeche Mode could only dream of doing something this cool. And no, this does not somewhat sound like Depeche Mode; just because it's electronic does not make them similar, their sound is very different.

I think New Order is way better than Depeche Mode. The more I learn about both bands, the more I have respect for New Order and the less I have for Depeche Mode who I recently realized are kind of fakes.
