After the albums "Construction Time Again" and "Some Great Reward" that clearly went toward the metallic applicants, beat Depeche Mode with "Black Celebration" again more the direction of atmospherically dense sounds a. The CD starts with the play "Black Celebration", which was an absolute classic of Depeche Mode, although it was not even released as a single. Also pieces like "A Question of Time" and "Stripped" will always remain unforgettable. Unfortunately, on this album a few slip-ups here, that approach does not quite reach the quality of the other pieces, but this fall is not significant. With this album cemented its position as the best Depeche Mode synth band and finally freed themselves from the image of the teen group. An absolute listening experience!
