The Golden Period: 1986 - 1997
Hi. I might be in for a bit of hate for this post, but I'm genuinely curious.
I've been a huge fan of DM for as long as I've enjoyed music. Listened to all their albums, travelled abroad for concerts and hell, even own a couple of t-shirts, but there's no escaping for me that there's a definite period, starting with 'Black Celebration' until 'Ultra', when they were absolutely brilliant, like, as good as it gets, but prior to and after that, underwhelming.
I will never stop listening to and loving the albums from that period but the others I most probably won't ever listen to again.
Is it the Alan Wilder touch?
Anyone else share this opinion?
