    The duo inject tracks like "Then I Go Twisting" with more humanity than the Pro Tools post-modernists who regularly steal their essence. [7 Oct 2011, p.75]

    Tomorrow's World isn't a bad album but it's not a complete "return to form" either.

    The duo's hook-laden, dangerously infectious, bottom-wiggling formula is still in place. [Oct 2011, p.112]

    I put this album in the green by a hair based on 3 really solid tracks and my love for the duo's music since I first heard Victim of Love in the 80s. Where Erasure always maintained an lushly independent sound in the earlier years, Tomorrow's World tries desperately to cram drastically different styles into a single work and it feels degraded to broad gay club riffs than a their signature sound. Hearing an autotuned version of Andy Bell's gracefully maturing vocals made my heart sink.… Expand

    Tinny vocal compression (Rolling Stone review)? It's worse than that: Autotune. On Andy's voice. Too much of this effort sounds like the strict dance album Andy put out as his last solo work, only worse. The synth settings are mostly awful Eurodisco-sounding. The mid-tempo thinkers are more properly Erasure, but there aren't enough of them to rescue this from a 5. This will be one of those Erasure albums (you know the ones) where nearly every remix will be superior to the original track.… Expand
