A return to form for Erasure. Although it'll harkens back to 'I Say, I Say, I Say,' it's not a complete retread. 'Because Our Love Is Real' should have been dropped in the demo stages, but it's the only drawback to an otherwise superb release.

Great songs, voices and production!

this album rocks

This to me is the best Erasure album to come along since Erausre's self titled album. Very true to Erasure form.

After many listens this is a definite top 3 album from them alongside Chorus and the self-titled Erasure.

This album is a reminder for me of why I fell in love with Erasure. Energetic, fun to listen to, and if you can excuse the buzzkill "Because Our Love Is Real", is so worth while.

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.

I just saw them in concert in Miami last night and they delivered an awesome show...about 1 1/2 hours of non-stop music. If you are an Erasure fan this album will not disappoint. They have returned to their roots. Keep it coming Andy and Vince!

Absolutely flawless synth-pop album, easily among Erasure's best. It has an effortless flow and majesty. It's lush without being cloying, cinematic without being precious. Don't believe the middling reviews, this is great stuff.

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

I thought the album was lovely, and a nice change from all the histrionics of 'garage bands' and fake punk teen princesses. It's romantic, it's synthetic, it's reliable and critics should go back to reviewing 'ultracool' bands they already like, so they can be happy and quit damaging everyone else's fun.

This is their best album since 1995's "Erasure."

Cracking return to form and is worth the purchase price just for the classic "Breath"... great stuff lads...

For those of us who enjoy good melodies and smart, introspective lyrics, Erasure has been a bastion in the muck of recent radio. This album delivers true Erasure, which is what fans want. This album is not an attempt to sound like a band they are not, or re-invent the wheel. It is simply a good album with good music. From start to finish the songs are real, fresh, and alive. The best album since their self-titled...… Expand

This album is a grower and is much better than music critics indicate. Highlights for me are Breathe, Don't Say You Love Me, Rocket to the Moon, and Bet You're Mad At Me. If you love synthpop you must own this album.
