What does Yea Forums think of Depeche Mode and the fact they peaked in 1997?

>Black Celebration is 9-10/10 one of the best pop albums ever
>can't really get into Some Great Reward, Music For the Masses or Violator
What the hell is wrong with my ears and do I fix this? I want to worship DM's balls and not just jock one album.

mftm and violator are understandable but why would you dislike some great reward? it's basically the same album
give a try to playing the angel, it has a similar goth-industrial-ish vibe

Their new stuff is banging too though

They peaked in '93.
