Depeche Mode's Ultra, originally released in 1997, stands as one of the band's most critically acclaimed and emotionally resonant works. Born from a period of intense personal struggles and band upheaval, this album emerged after nearly a year of painstaking creation, marking a triumphant return that many consider among Depeche Mode's finest achievements.
Described by critics as "dark even by Depeche Mode's standards," Ultra showcases the band's evolution into deeper, more introspective territory with its moody, pulsating ballads and atmospheric soundscapes. The album serves as the perfect vehicle for Dave Gahan's brooding baritone vocals, while Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher's production demonstrates their "ever-increasing sense of tender intuition," creating what would be considered the obvious peak of most bands' catalogs.
