and Songs of Faith and Devotion was a blood-album, but it rebelled against despair, flailed, fighting, biting. ultra sounds so profoundly depressed that sensitive people the right attitude tablets should choose before they hear it.
ultra begins infinitely exciting, the first four songs are among the best songs routes that are dm ever managed. back to the album then trickles out a bit. the instrumentals sound a bit like stalling.
the sound you realize that they were looking at, but very Alan Wilder lacked. one hand, sounds much by old Depeche Mode, on the other hand push the guitars here the music but very offensive towards rock, some arrangements are again very clubby and a bit cold.
a very exciting album, not easy to hear the devotion songwriting only drops slightly towards songs of faith and. "It's no good" by the way is a real classic DM.
