Exciter is Depeche Mode's tenth full-length album, which was released on May 14, 2001 in the UK and May 15 in the US. It uses more digital music technology compared to their other albums. It was produced by Mark Bell of Bjork fame. It also had several songs which became big hits in clubs, like "I Feel Loved". The album also launched the Exciter Tour, which was one of the band's most successful tours.

Exciter went gold in the U.S., selling 426,000 units there as of April 2006. For some fans, however, this is believed to be the weakest of the band's post-1986 albums, while Exciter is prized by other Depeche Mode fans.
