I'm going to revisit all my favourites (and least favourites) from all these albums post-2000 and provide my analysis...but you might be on to something here..

Unless they played the one with Martin Gore on lead vocals. That one is terrible.
.

agreed, that one is awful.

I still really dig Delta Machine, partly because it was mixed by Flood who did a great job on it (Flood also produced the wonderful Holy Fire, one of my favorite albums of this decade. He hasn't lost his touch). Looking forward to Spirit

 

[BGD75]

Got tickets for the concert in Berlin next summer! Really looking forward to it. Been a fan for a long time but actually never attended their show.

I was hoping their new album would be titled "Songs of Brilliance".

Sounds of the Universe was the last DM album I listened to. Some good stuff on there, but also a lot of filler.

Here's hoping the new one is good.

 

[lazarus]

The last one I've listened to more than twice is Ultra.

 

[Joey788]

Ultra is severely underrated.

I needed this kind of news right now.

Playing The Angel was the last DM album I really liked. The last two had their moments, but overall were a bit meh.

 

[gvox]

The truly sucky part is I can't really string together a U2/DM mini-tour out of their respective Euro dates this summer - when DM is in the EU, U2 is over here...when U2 is in the EU...DM is in Russia or some shit. Ugh

Ultra is severely underrated.

Agreed.

Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion, and Ultra was an extraordinary run.

 

[lazarus]

Not going to include Music For The Masses in that run? It's better than at least 2 of those albums.

 

[Joey788]

I'd argue for including Black Celebration as well.

 

[djparky]

I'd say the run started with Construction Time Again but the golden period was Some Great Reward through SOFAD

For me anyway the albums post drugs/ rehab/ Alan Wilder have been very inconsistent - I liked Ultra ( Barrel of a gun and Sister of Night are amongst my favourite tracks), thought Exciter and SOTU were terrible, liked some of Playing the Angel and Delta Machine, but none of them matched the quality from 84- 93

So basis of previous form of disliking every other album doesn't bode well for Spirit, but hopefully it will break the cycle

 

[lazarus]

I agree with all of the above, aside from never having listened to Delta Machine straight through.

Regardless, an impressive run.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'd argue for including Black Celebration as well.

My favorite DM album.

 

[gvox]

Let's face it, the period of Some Great Reward through Songs of Faith & Devotion is some of arguably the best music ever made by human beings who play electronic instruments.

Good as it is, I'll take Power, Corruption, and Lies through Republic.

 

[Joey788]

Wow, that was boring.

 

[U2inUtah]

ehh its alright. I liked lead singles "Heaven" and "Wrong" quite a bit better on first listen.

 

[gvox]

You know I'm not going argue with you on that!!

 

[gvox]

Wow, that was boring.

Honestly..felt like it could have been a b-side from any of the last 2-3 albums lol

 

[prbiker15]

It's good, but at this point I hope it's not the best song on the album.

I liked lead singles "Heaven" and "Wrong" quite a bit better on first listen.

Agreed, especially Wrong.
