Product ReviewsBlack Celebration by Depeche Mode (CD, Mar-1986, Sire)

2nd best album they released

Depeche mode are 3 different band I think. Their early years are way too poppy to my ears, their last few years although incredibly artistic and still very good, lack the lyrical depth of the Depeche mode Black Celebration to Songs of period.

While in my eyes songs of faith is their best release, this one, although quite earlier, easily takes easy second place over Violator (which is also terrific).

Darker sound, lyrics that are well thought... You can see the sweated over this one.Read full review...

Black Celebration

To me, this album is by far the best produced by the original line up of Depeche Mode. I consider it one of the best from the 80s. I am so happy to have it back in my collection. This is my second time buying it. The first time was back in 2006 at CD Warehouse. It got stolen out of my car some years later. Now, I have it again because I missed it, terribly.Read full review...

CLASSIC

You either love this one or you don't. This is my favorite Mode record. This record is best played start to finish because it is a true journey laced with a dark synth-based vibe with a sudo-pop feel.Great lyrics and industrial arrangements of synthesizers and drum machines. This record solidifies Depeche Modes iconic status as pioneers who definitely landmarked themselves in the hearts and minds of millions. This record has helped many through the angst, heartbreak,hard times and insecurity we came to know in our teenage years.Read full review...

Essential Depeche Mode

If you are a Depeche Mode fan you need this album. So many great songs on it - Here is the House, But Not Tonight, Stripped - and New Dress is the quintessential '80's protest song against the excesses of our leaders and the shifting of our focus from important issues to fashion gossip.Read full review...

Great Album.

This is such a great album. A bit darker than some of the other DM albums, but that is what makes it so hauntingly good. A must have for any DM, new wave, post punk, synth loving fan.

Dark Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode's Black Celebration marked a darker turn to their music. It can be argued that this album was one of the first of the *Goth* movement.
The songs here have an eerie otherworldly quality and Dave Gahans voice rises to the challenge on every one.
I am huge DM fan, so I really enjoy everything they produce.
If you have an 80s-90s collection of music, you should have this, too!Read full review...

Black Celebration - Depeche Mode CD

I don't know why it took me so long to purchase it on cd. I wore the tape out. I could have downloaded it but sometimes one just has to have the actual product. Even though some of the music has some dark tones it reminds of some fabulous times and great concerts. A must have for Depeche fans.Read full review...

Good Used CD

As a used item, it was a good price.
So I bought it.
Arrived as expected.
Since there was a small scratch on the CD (very small) I gave it four stars.
