zyntyll - See all zyntyll's reviews Depeche Mode never fail to impress with their music. I bought this CD on April 15th, 1997 when it came out not knowing how it would sound like and now I am proud of this purchase. Ultra says it all. It's their best album of the 90s. Edgy and diverse, it will never sound dated at all. DM are not just a band. They're a musical phenomenon that will never die!!! My absolute favorite is Insight. What a great song. Very creepy yet groovy. Their best song in years. By the way about all the people dogging this band Exciter, get a damn life!!! Even though I don't find it to be their best I still give it a five and it is sooooooooo much better than all the bubblegum/rap garbage that pollutes the airwaves these days. Go and buy this CD now. Throw away all your BSB, N Sync CDs and start replacing them with DM CDs instead. Trust me you will not be dissapointed with this killer album. And go and get Exciter as well. ...

Pro Reviews: Ultra
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews When news surfaced in 1995 that Alan Wilder had departed Depeche to concentrate on his solo project Recoil, the immediate concern among fans was whether the band would be able to hit past heights again. Though Wilder's profile was always much lesser than that of Martin Gore and David Gahan -- and almost even that of Alan Fletcher, whose non-performance live has always been a running joke in the fan community and who freely admits to generally being around merely to maintain a vibe with his childhood friend Gore -- his capability at arranging the songs over the years gave the band its increasingly distinct, unique edge. Combined with Gahan's near suicide and lengthy recovery from drugs, things looked bleak. Happily, Ultra turned out a winner; hooking up with Tim Simenon, longtime U.K. dance maven and producer of arty fare such as Gavin Friday's Adam and Eve, Depeche delivered a strong album as a rejuvenated band. The most immediate change was Gahan's singing; for the first time ever, he took singing lessons beforehand, and his new control and projection simply shines, especially on the marvelous "It's No Good," a pulsing, tense yet beautiful song with another deeply romantic Gore lyric. Opener "Barrel of a Gun" continues in the vein of arena-level stompers like "Never Let Me Down Again" and "I Feel You," with huge drum slams and scratching to boot, but Ultra mostly covers subtler territory, such as the slightly creepy "Sister of Night" and the gentle "The Love Thieves." Gore sings two winners: the orchestral, slow dance groove "Home" and "The Bottom Line," featuring steel guitar and Can's Jaki Liebezeit on drums, distinctly different territory for Depeche. Closing with "Insight," a quite lovely, building ballad, Ultra showed Depeche wasn't ready to quit by any means. - Ned Raggett, All Music Guide |
