Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |
|
 Dark and elegant.
Submitted on: 2009-11-10 |

| A very dark album, even by DM standards. Recorded after Alan Wilder's departure, the record is soaked in cavernous bass synthetics and aggressive percussion. The 2nd half of the disc is a brooding suite that finally resolves itself in the gospel-tinged ending of "Insight", a welcome relief after a long but compelling section of dark Euro-pop. Not their most accessible LP, but definitely worth the journey. |

Ultra - Amazing Album that Almost Didn't Happen
Submitted on: 2008-05-26 |

What can I say about Ultra that hasn't been said before? First off, just that DM recorded this album was an achievement in itself. I remember when I bought it back in 97 I was highly pessimistic that it wouldn't live up to past classics due to their recent problems and the departure of Alan Wilder (who I still miss!). Boy, was I wrong!
This album is simply stunning and I rate it as my third favorite DM album behind Black Celebration and Violator. I think Martin's writing here was really inspired from all of the stuff that was pulling the band apart. The opener Barrel of a Gun was like it was almost written for Dave as we know was still having drug issues. The other songs are just as strong if not stronger. It's No Good is probably in my top three favorite DM songs of all time and Home is arguably the greatest song that Martin has ever sung (right up there with Somebody).
Other standouts include Sister of Night and Useless. But the closer Insight is just about perfect. I love the ending as Martin sings a wonderful backing vocal. To date the band has never sung this live but i sure wish they would. It's very inspiring. And as the song says "you gotta give love." |

it was a long and hard road for depeche mode to come back and release this album and to me they succeeded with leeps and bounds, spawning 4 hit singles in the process.
fav. songs: it's no good, insight, barrel of a gun, home.
hell, the whole things great. |

A Strong Comeback
Submitted on: 2007-08-01 |

| DM certainly went through a dangerous hiatus... but they returned with form and style. This album shuffles amid powerful, affecting ballads, and 'punch-in-the-face' laments, always written over Martin's superb minor-chord styling and pop sensibility. A definite must-have for any Devotee. |
