Just wondering what do fans make of the album Ultra, Exciter and Playing The Angel?
How do they rank for you. But it's hard because both 'Ultra' and 'Exciter' only have 2 songs that I like

For me, 'Playing The Angel' comes first, then probably 'Ultra' then 'Exciter'.

Yeah....i mean not a fan of the later years of Charmed....but i think it was the final season with that bank heist...coincidently i found it the best one of that season too....so i do think it was that one...which was aired in 2006 so it makes sense haha.

Yeah it was s8. It was the opening scenes IIRC, so it was quite nice to see the shots of San Fran with 'Precious' playing over them.

I think it was somebody on DS who recommended I listen to Black Celebration. When I found out who that was I'd like to thank them! A brilliant album that has for me spawned three new favourites; Fly on the Windscreen, Here is the House and Dressed in Black.
Of their recent work, Wrong has to be one of my favourite tracks of the noughties. I'm waiting to get more money when I can get Violator, Speak and Spell and complete Some Great Reward (I have Something to Do, Somebody, People are People and Blasphemous Rumours). In May I made a video about a party in our halls of residence set to More than a Party (which, indeed it was!). Here it is if you'd like to see it; http://youtu.be/waF_PPCbVz4 |

You won't regret Violator. Their best album imo. 'Policy Of Truth' 'Halo' and 'Clean' being my faves.

Black Celebration is an amazing album indeed. 'Fly On The Windscreen' is one of my faves from it as is 'A Question Of Time', but my top track from it is 'Stripped'.

Thanks for that. And I notice your name being MsWilder. The same surname as a certain DM band member
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lust aside though, he really did work wonders for the band. They were at the top of their game when he was with them imo. They've knocked out some great songs post-Wilder, but I'd still say their best songs were when he was there. |

Music For The Masses I'm not that keen on, despite the fact that my ultimate favourite DM track is on there
I only like 4 songs from it.![]() I presume you've seen "Depeche Mode 87-88 (Sometimes You Do Need Some New Jokes)" and all the other videos they put on the re-releases

In general. I've never done a top ten but I'd have Blasphemous Rumours, Everything Counts, Policy Of Truth, Somebody and The Things You Said somewhere in that top ten

I;m genuinely shocked as I think it's a great album despite the appalling Route 66

Makes it worse that everyone's banging on about what a great album MFTM is

I really can't listen to The Things You Said, I thought it was an awful track! I re-listened a few ties to see if it was a grower, but I just haven't warmed to it!
![]() I love it but I know some Mode fans are more lukewarm about it... to say the least
