''Construction Time Again'' is the third proper studio Album by Depeche Mode . Released on August 22 1983 , it saw two shifts in DM's sound. First, the lyrical content started to deepen, and secondly, their sound started to take on darker flavours. '' Black Celebration '', released three years later, took this flavouring and cemented it as a permanent feature in DM's future works. This was the first DM album with Alan Wilder .
