Depeche Mode -Violator
One word: perfect. Their best album, a blend of the dark sounds of Black Celebration and the more "accessible" tones of Music for the Masses. The quintessential Depeche album. more
Placebo -Placebo
They seemed like a post-punk band; luckily, the subsequent albums offered us better. more
Muse -Showbiz
The debut album is beautiful, they immediately stood out. We were already amazed by tracks like Sunborne and Muscle Museum. Even then, they promised a lot. more
Björk -Debut
Too uneven work from a great artist still emerging here. A vibrant mix of styles, containing masterpieces like Human Behaviour mixed with trivial dance-pop tracks like Big Time Sensuality or Violently Happy. Better things will come. more
Björk -Post
An album I don't know, unique by Bjork that is unknown to me. But I believe it's in line with Debut, not yet at the level of the subsequent ones. more
Björk -Homogenic
Probably the best work of the Icelander. Slightly ruined by those tracks in the second half sung with too much "grit": her voice is beautiful because it is powerful and delicate at the same time; grunts and growls aren't necessary. Masterpiece "All is full of love" (unfortunately, there’s a remix on the album that takes away the allure of the piece...) more
Depeche Mode -A Broken Frame
An album that doesn't stray much from the previous one, but Gore's touch starts to be felt in tracks like See You, leaning more towards synth rock than dance. It's the first transitional album. more
Depeche Mode -Construction Time Again
With Gore as the undisputed leader, the second transitional album arrives (which will be completed in the next one). Little accessible, some remnants of dance mixed with a dark sound. Everything Counts is an exception. Still too heterogeneous. more
Depeche Mode -Black Celebration
After 3 albums, Depeche reach their pure essence. Gore expresses himself at his best, composing the darkest album of the group and the first of the "magic triptych." The real Depeche starts from here. more
Depeche Mode -Music For The Masses
The first of the two true masterpieces of the band: the sound has now become a trademark signed by Gore, the album is more balanced and homogeneous and slightly more accessible. One step away from perfection. more
Depeche Mode -Songs Of Faith And Devotion
Album that arrives in a tough period for the band, amidst struggles with drug addiction and conflicts. The electronics almost completely disappear to make way for a dark rock sound. Another great work. more
Depeche Mode -Ultra
Still amidst issues (it seemed they should have resolved), Ultra embodies the essence of Depeche: it blends the synth rock sound of the "trilogy" with the rock of its predecessor. However, something is missing to define it as a masterpiece. more
Depeche Mode -Exciter
Overcoming internal issues, Depeche return to producing an entirely electronic album. The sounds heavily diverge from those of their best works, blending the dance elements of their earlier releases with a chillout spirit never heard before. An album that breaks the Depeche mold. more
Muse -Origin Of Symmetry
The hardest work of the Devon trio (and to think that even harder tracks were omitted and included in the Hullabaloo OST album). Undoubtedly the most sought-after and refined, New Born remains perhaps their greatest gem (along with Hysteria). more
Muse -Absolution
Another great piece of work, with some initial hints of the more commercial style that would follow. Hysteria remains, along with New Born, their best track. more
Depeche Mode -Some Great Reward
Here the transition process is complete and Gore has total control over the band: nonetheless, it results in a work that is still mixed, between synth pop tracks and mood ballads (the first and last album by Depeche to contain them). The peak will come a few years later. more
