Depeche Mode – Memento Mori

Do not buy prerecorded cassettes. Simple folks, buy the record and make your own cassette...Not a hard concept to figure out.

Finally arrived today, which happens to be the day behind Andy Fletercher's third-year ing. Sadly, I can confirm the negative reviews below. This cassette doesn't sound like a cassette. I know what a well-recorded cassette sounds like. The sound quality on this one is horrendous, flat, and lifeless... This release is nothing more than a nice-looking souvenir, not worth the money.

Normally, one always reviews really great reissues or special editions, but with this first edition, I have to say that this is an incredibly good-sounding record. Everything is just right.

Great release. A worthy album overall. The sound is deep and spacious. Almost none of surface noise. Cool trifold packaging.

Приобрел, недавно этот альбом. Запись просто бомба!!! Не люблю прозрачный и цветной винил, но это просто супер!!!! Депеш ждет как всегда !!!

Although I really appreciate knowing that according to those who own this cassette it sounds like a cassette, I would especially like to know if your copy has, like mine, a problem with the attack of "My Cosmos Is Mine.” To put it simply, there are normally four kick drum hits (electronic, of course), well on my tape, the first hit is cut, which truncates the intro a bit.... Is it just my bad luck (which was repeated twice since I was able to spot this problem on a second copy) or is it a serial problem with the pressing ? Have any of you spotted this problem ? Thanks for letting us know.... Love !

The album is good, but I complain about CD packaging of the release, it's the worst digisleeve I've ever seen. It's the pain to take CD from the cardbox because of its weird configuration.

God knows I love Depeche Mode, but I've listened to this album a couple of times now and by far the best track is "Ghosts Again". Maybe Memento Mori will grow on me like Exciter did or maybe good olde Depeche Mode needs to hang up the towel and call it a day. They're down to two now after all and have been doing this for almost 45 years. And this is coming from a serious fan who owns everything they've ever come out with basically.

This is a great record and so is Spirit. I wish these 2 would be released on blu ray audio.

After listening to this album probably 2 or 3 dozen times since its release, I can confidently say this is their best album of all time. Never thought Violator, Black Celebration or Music for the Masses, among others could be beat, but they’ve done it. Listening to this album is an emotional experience that just seems to get better and better after each listen. Listening to this on vinyl is fantastic, as the mastering and sound quality is superb. Their concert I attended in November 2023, they were on fire and was absolutely the best concert I’ve ever witnessed. I hope there’s more new music coming down the road and a tour to it. Until then, we have this masterpiece to enjoy, thank you Depeche Mode.
