90Shimmeringly perfect.
-
Composed of more hits than misses, Nightbird soars. [21 Jan 2005, p.88]
-
Smart, moving, approachable, and well constructed, Nightbird is Erasure's mature masterpiece.
-
80A fine return to form.
-
60One can't help but miss Erasure's old-school glee. [Apr 2005, p.116]
-
One could easily mistake Nightbird for something the duo made in the Eighties -- and if you love Erasure, you won't care.
-
Each shimmering track lights a momentary spark, but the attraction proves fleeting. [6 Feb 2005]
-
They've stuck the bleeps on autopilot, the beats on cruise control, and can only be bothered writing a handful of half-decent tunes. [5 Feb 2005, p.50]
-
40This is undeniably a better album than they've delivered in some while, but... there still seems to be a lack of conviction in their execution. [Feb 2005, p.100]
-
40Seems dated. [Feb 2005, p.73]
-
40They just sound bored. [Feb 2005, p.98]
-
Longtime fans will be comforted by Nightbird, even if it comes off like the fluff Giorgio Moroder might've rejected after a coke bender. [Mar 2005, p.138]
-
40How can something that makes so lavish with both emotion and production leave so little aftertaste?
-
30Only a couple of tracks on Nightbird flicker with any sparks of life. [#67, p.96]
