Qwne
Superb pressing a bit of a return to pure electronics. 'Where's The Revolution' is Mode's strongest anthem in years and the political themes running through most of the tracks give the album a sense of purpose which was perhaps missing from the Hillier produced releases.
Foginn
Go get this album immediately. Beautiful music by Depeche Mode in a gorgeous package. Sound quality is EXCELLENT. Not a single pop or crack throughout all the album. I am amazed.
Ndlaitha
I had to return it to the store two times because of a damaged vinyl.Having that sorted out it's a high quality pressing even if the album itself is not the best in DM discography.Make no mistake - it's not weak either ;)
Stoneshaper
Mine is slightly warped too but that doesn't affect the sound so I let it be. Disk 1 had a grey stain on it though. It was visible under a strong light and it also gave out a hissing sound when the stylus ran through it.Looked like a pressing issue.
Stanober
In what way was the vinyl damaged? I returned my vinyl once, too because Disk 2 has been warped. The copy I got then had the same issue, so I kept it.
Morad
Excellent album, probably the best album since Ultra, well to me anyway. An amazing pressing, very quiet and detailed sound. ^^
Ucantia
Excellent sound quality and pressing from MPO. A lot better than the Ben Hilliar producee albums. Musically, nothing new but its very enjoyable.
Dodo
Best DM album in ages!! Edge and depth. Anger suits y'all well;)
GoodBuyMyFriends
A so beautiful album better than Delta MachineI prefer this lp more than Delta Machine too bluesy for me.I think that Spirit and Delta Machine are like two twins but Spirit is more electro. I think than Dave Gahan has a good influence for Martin. Songs are more deeper. I m going to discover now the disc number 2 (Jungle spirit mixes) : I'll do a feedback later
Goktilar
To early to judge the album compered to the former albums. This album sounds mature. Maybe it lacks a bit edge and spirituell youth. Nothing new, like they recycled something from every former album. To safe...Thought it's cool dark, heavy and hard. It has the same atmosphere as Black Celebration.David's voice is strong as always and Martin makes his well known fragile and emotional vibratos.I'm not sure... no final verdict jet. But still it's DM and it's pretty good. The musical quality all through the album is high.
Unnis
This album sounds... overmature ))
Vishura
The Jungle Spirit Mixes (from deluxe CD) really needs their own 12" single release. Better than the whole album!
LivingCross
the jungle mixes should be on the 4th side !!! instead of a fucking etching...
Drelalak
definitely feel the same, remixes are better than originals, i would like to know who made them
HappyLove
ATTN: Anyone stopping by hoping to gleam what the album sounds like based off of Discogs Genre/Style tags - this is not "synth-pop"."Spirit" on a first listen digs its heels into the overarching sound of the last three releases - 'loudness war' lack of nuance in mixing/mastering, more guitars, live drumming, analogue/sawtooth synthesizers, abandonment of traditional pop structure. While DM have had songs in the style of "synth-pop" in the last 12 years ("Suffer Well" "Fragile Tension"), there is none of that here. "Spirit" has more in common stylistically to "Land of Rape and Honey"-era Ministry than "Black Celebration" (or any key synth-pop release by the band). Depeche Mode have abandoned pop music structures - this album weighs heavily toward Rock than Electronic music, with Industrial (or, Post-Industrial if it were an option) and EBM as styles. There's even more of a post-punk influence (track 9, "So Much Love") than 'synth-pop'.Don't expect a "See You", "People are People". Actually, if you've been paying attention since SOFAD, DM haven't been trying to make synth-pop for a long time.Discogs community - can we finally let go of this idea that Depeche Mode still makes synth-pop? Please? It's tiring. Bands and musicians change over time. If Kraftwerk abandoned synthesizers and hired an orchestra to play their next album, it wouldn't be electronic music, either.Curious what synth-pop sounds like? Listen to early-DM, try on Yellow Magic Orchestra, or listen to something more recent, like Chvrches, La Roux, or last year's wonderful, inspired synth-pop album "Oh No" by Jessy Lanza.

I agree with your point on the last 3 or so albums. They seem to Let Me Down, again and again. Some ok songs, but nothing that drew you to the albums as a whole. The first time I heard Spirit, I thought it was ok, then I sat down in my living room and listened to the entire lp on my thumping system. I also had the lyrics to read through. The album grabbed me and I felt like I did when I listened to SGR, or MFTM. There are subtle hints of old on this release. Give it a thorough listen on your home system and see if it doesn't pull you in, especially 4, 5 and 6. You have to dig in a bit!Also, their music has matured, like Sting, Peter Gabriel, etc...had. You're not going to hear multi-layered synthesized pop songs from them anymore. As many have stated: you either like it, or you don't.
Quashant
you absolutely made a point that DM have abandoned their synth-pop music trademark. It's absolutely understandable for a band making music for so many years to develop new ideas and change their musical style. On the other hand, though being a fan for 20 years, I lost touch with the change being made over the last few records. When I started listening to DM, just with the release of ULTRA, I was deeply moved by their tone and musical style. I started to acquire the whole discography of the band, liking their 80ies sound very much. They tried to become a rock band with SOFAD but in my opinion their sound was still unmistakable. ULTRA reduced the rock influences mixing electronic pop with guitars. Though some fans found ULTRA mediocre - actually there are some weaker songs on it - it was a record with a distinct DM sound. Tom me, Exciter was an absolute letdown, Playing the Angel and Sounds of the Universe had their moments (Suffer Well, Fragile Tension). I found absolutely no connection to Delta Machine. Spirit seems to go the same way abandoning rhythmic drums and synthesizer sounds. As I said before, I accept the bands wish to change their musical horizon but I'm less than enthusiastic about it. Seems like DM is finally leaving my musical horizon. Sad but no catastrophe as all the classics still shine!
Utchanat
The worst album of DM.Their "spirit" seem to be gone for good.
Lynnak
Yes, yet another hollow stadium Guns and Posers album from the guys, third one in a row.Where's the Evolution?
Forey
You love it or you hate it. In my case i love it! Amazing album. The best since Ultra.
Zololmaran
Too early to call, but my initial impressions are not favourable. I've been listening to the much maligned Sounds of the universe and Delta machine albums a great deal recently; Have come to the the conclusion SOTU is a very fine album for the most part and Delta machine is probably in my top 3 DM albums. Ben Hillier, the producer of both of those records and the previous Playing the angel (they've become my go to DM albums of late), came in for a lot of criticism, but I think that with time, opinions will start to change and that he'll receive the praise he deserves. The fact that the band stuck with him for 3 albums surely suggests that they rated him highly. As I say, I'm not prepared to nail my colours to the mast just yet, but James Ford's production on spirit strikes me as being strangely underwhelming; or is it the quality of the songs themselves that are below par? Personally, I'd like the band to take a chance with their next producer, that is, if Martin Gore is unwilling, or feels unable to produce DM himself. Johnny Greenwood, if they could get him might be interesting. Likewise, Scott Walker or John Cale. 2 people I suspect (possibly totally incorrectly) have never taken any interest in Depeche Mode.
Celore
Agreed, for me its an 4 track e.p.Im wait for the next album ????.
HeonIc
This seems to be the common denominator towards this album: either you love it or hate it! Seen it in many reviews and opinions everywhere.
Andriodtargeted
I actually think it's their most focused album in a long while!
Nalme
INCREDIBLE pressing. No mistakes whatsoever. Sounds absolutely magnificent. And the music is excellent, their best album since Playing The Angel.
Kulafyn
Disc 2 is warped. Apart from that a good sounding pressing but away from "INCREDIBLE".
Xtintisha
I agree 100%. The pressing is perfect. Pure vinyl pleasure!
