    With all the elements in place, the late-era The Violet Flame sits on the top shelf of Erasure albums, and considering all the greatness in the back catalog, that's no easy task.

    Moreso than 2011's Tomorrow's World, The Violet Flame is an accessible blessing for longtime fans and curious newcomers alike.

    It’s an album you can approach and recognize even if you haven’t kept up with the recent catalog, but it might not set your heart alight.
