Ultra by Depeche Mode: Ultra Disappointed in Depeche Mode

Wed, 7 Dec 2005 18:39:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Depeche Mode were already musical veterans when they released 1997’s Ultra. The synth-pop band was founded in 1980 by four British blokes: Vince Clarke (who was soon replaced by keyboardist Alan Wilder), Andrew Fletcher (keys), Martin Gore...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Catchy, Dark, 'Techno-Rock'

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 19:41:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author captainlucky - If you aren't familiar with Depeche Mode, they dominated the 80s with techno pop music releasing a bunch of singles and albums. There are 2 decent singles compilations available titled: THE SINGLES 81-85 and THE SINGLES 86-98. Of course they have...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Ultra (adj): Going Beyond Others or Beyond Due Limit

Sun, 16 Mar 2003 19:20:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shilmafone - Failed Album Titles:

The Spice Girls, Forever: Whoops, so much for that idea.

Faith No More, Album of the Year: Pretty average, as far as Faith No More goes.

Depeche Mode, Exciter: Nothing exciting about it,...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Depeche Mode's grandest work

Tue, 2 Jul 2002 20:38:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mbungle - Being a huge, almost geek-like fan of music in general, I can honestly say that very few albums can make me feel calm and at ease. I have come across many excellent albums; many of these albums I find excellent for being musically grounbreaking, or many...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: This is Depeche Mode.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author search66 - "Depeche Mode..."

Intro

It was spring 1988 and my compadre (dijinn) grabbed me by the throat and threw me into a beaten up station wagon.

"You've got to hear this!"

Little did I...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: A satisfactory "return"

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 19:50:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eterniti2002 - Many, myself included, thought that Depeche Mode were dead and buried. I mean let's face it, Dave Gahan was practically dead. And without their "front man", DM would have been no more. However, through much plodding and the forces of "good", Dave...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: David Gahan, I Want You Now (Part Two)

Thu, 31 Aug 2000 16:09:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rahu69 - Now clean and sober, David Gahan has never looked...okay, or sounded...better. Depeche Mode’s appearance on the Tonight Show back in 1997 proved that. Performing one of their best singles of the 90's, “It’s No Good”, David was singing the...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Ultra bad

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 17:11:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author m.s.heart - 1997's "ULTRA" was supposed to be a "comeback" album for Depeche Mode. David Gahan had been in rehab and one of the other band members LEFT (I had previously written that one of the band members had died...committed suicide I...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: A Terrific 'Bluesy' Work...

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 15:15:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Midnyte_Caller - 'ULTRA' is, like all of Depeche Mode albums, very diverse in its sound - one reason for this diversity is linked to the various session musicians used throughout. In my mind, the album came very close to topping 'Violator,' maybe the only reason it...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Depeche Mode's most beautiful album

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 06:29:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GableGal - I have been a fan of Depeche Mode since <gasp> 1985. I have all their albums and have seen them live five times, including the Rose Bowl Concert for the Masses. I can definately see where the band has grown up and matured and Ultra is the perfect...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Feels Like Home

Mon, 15 May 2000 11:13:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blusavana - Depeche Mode's return from the dead, after all the trials and tribulations this band has gone through (and third incarnation of the band), they come back almost as good as before. The album "Ultra" is the work of Martin Gore, David Gahan, and...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Depeche Mode peak

Sat, 12 Feb 2000 13:55:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Guildenstern - If 'The Jazz thieves' were not on this cd, I would unconditionally love it. With "Ultra", Depeche Mode had a difficult time following up the equally brilliant "Songs of faith and Devotion". But they not only followed up, but...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Comeback A la Mode - Ultra, by Depeche Mode

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 21:07:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kevincmurphy - Grandfathers of the techno revolution, Depeche Mode has never gotten the respect they deserve. Despite the band's megastardom in Europe and Asia, American critics have dismissed the Mode's savvy blend of synth-pop melancholy ever since they launched out...

Ultra by Depeche Mode: Ultra-beautiful

Wed, 27 Oct 1999 05:17:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BradEve - After a long wait between their previous album,"Songs of Faith & Devotion" I finally got my hands on Ultra. Music technology had changed quite dramatically and bands with synthesizers were no longer the enemy of the average rock-music fan...
