    I expected much more from this long awaited album, that’s not it, sorry, but it has some strong moments, still not enough for being good album

    Very disappointing, and I love their earlier work a lot. None of these songs have particularly strong hooks nor any unique sounds. None would make it on a modern dance floor, ultimately, It's all very forgettable.

    I don't like the sound of the word at all. It used to be better. Bring back the sound we remember

    Unfortunately, the album doesn't seem to be as memorable as one would expect at first listen. The songs are enjoyable at first but soon tire their audience.

    The album may not carry the sort of dance-fused electro-pop magnificence they’ve made before, but moving away from the more ‘expected’ type of pop song you think of when Erasure crops up in conversation seems to have worked wonders.

    The Neon nestles the duo back into their musical comfort zone when they’re exceedingly capable of more.

    The Neon is stacked with what Erasure does best: Sharp melodic hooks, efficient, hip-shaking beats, and yearning lyrics that both relate and motivate.
