      Listen twice, cd is full of scratch. Digifile Edition is very messy.

        This is a great pressing no noise on mine and really sounds 👌 spatial. Not my favorite and political for its time bit a few good tunes here. Somehow got mine for 4.50 new. If you don't have it and need it get it.

          Like a lot of people I grew up on Depeche Mode. When hair metal and grunge ruled the airwaves DM was always there outlasting trends in music. Their catalogue is ridiculously impressive and it wouldn't be remiss to call them icons of not just electronic music, but pop music and popular culture. The quality of music that they produced is staggering and for a huge swath of the public they were responsible for shaping a generation. My favorite albums are or course Violator, Ultra, and Songs of Faith and Devotion that contain anthem after anthem.

          So it is with regret that I feel perhaps they should maybe pass the torch. Or at the very least take some time to discover what made them so groundbreaking in the first place. Spirit is a tremendous step down from their best work. It is a depressing, unimpressive, slog that leaves me scratching my head. Where is this album's Enjoy the Silence? Walking in My Shoes? Barrel of a Gun? David's voice hasn't wavered in it's quality, but even the melancholy tone and skill with which he uses it cannot support the weight of the musical mediocrity. The majority of the album is a dreary soaked downtempo funeral dirge that isn't fun or enjoyable to listen to. Unfortunately none of the songs are memorable (or even contain a memorable moment!) and for me that is unforgivable for a DM album.

            Hört das keiner? Oder habe nur ich Pech, eine Pressung abbekommen zu haben, die nichts taugt. B-Seite zerrt an mehreren Stellen und knackt unentwegt. Unhörbar. Die zweite Platte habe ich deshalb gar nicht mehr angehört.

              As someone said before, great pressing but such a weak album! Records are silent overall with some sporadic pop or crack here and there but very unusual. This is the best way to listen to this album in my opinion.

                I would say this: this album sounds insane on vinyl. Very very good. The music? Ok, I own everything they've ever done, and these songs aren't THAT bad at all. Who else makes music even in 2022 (let alone 2017 when this was done) at this level.

                    I’ve followed DM since I first heard Photographic on the Some Bizarre album. Most of the journey has been a mix of excitement and great tunes with the occasional disappointment. However this travesty may well be the straw that broke the camels back for me. For starters it sounds unfinished and rushed. The songs themselves are mediocre and uninspiring, and somebody needs to buy Anton a new box of crayons. Where’s the revolution? Certainly not here. Bad.

                    Update. March 2024 and Memento Mori has been out for a year and thankfully has wiped the floor with Spirit. I still stand by my criticisms of Spirit. Its a tough listen. But with MM Dave and Martin can hold their heads up high. Fletch, God rest his soul, would be proud.

                      An excellent album, *You move* a typical DM track although my favourite is *Cover Me*, an incredibly haunting track and great video. It's so good it deserves to be the title music of a sci-fi epic!

                        How they managed to f up the sleeve with words "Depeche Mode" put higher than they should be. Russia is the only country that did that with Spirit.
