    One seriously good album, Bell really does pull out some of the very best lyrics I've ever heard. And the '80's (Jarresque) style is simply brilliant, setting it apart from every other album in the charts today! Well done to Erasure. Expand

    Critics do not review an album based on the content alone, but rather try to compare the content with other albums. My point is that this is an amazing album. How can you give this album a bad review? Well, that's easy... compare this album against wonderland, circus, innocents, chorus, erasure self-titled, and cowboy. I really feel that we are the critics, because they are so damn negative all the time and it seems like they never appreciate fine art such as this. Expand
