Nov 11, 2020Very 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.

Aug 28, 2020This album is fire! Sounds similar to Bananarama's In Stereo (their last record). Erasure could collaborate with them! It would be amazing. They created a fantastic pop gem.

Aug 28, 2020What is this? Если бы мы знали но мы не знаем не знаем как это было на вершине

Aug 28, 2020I don't like the sound of the word at all. It used to be better. Bring back the sound we remember

Aug 28, 2020I 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

Aug 28, 2020mmm I just don’t get it, I don’t think I came out at the right time. But I will give it another try.

Aug 28, 2020Unfortunately, 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.

Aug 26, 2020After repeated listenings I think this album is pure melody and pure joy! Simple, straightforward and effective, full of positive energy. Despite relative sparse arrangements it works, because of amazing songwriting and full-on, heartfelt vocals of Andy Bell! Every song is a gem, I feel like this is the best album of Erasure since Nightbird. Recommended!

Aug 26, 2020Their best album since I Say I say I say (1994)
Returning to forms and original sound. Lyrically good and sincere. -
Aug 25, 2020ABsolutely amazing. I think it is going to be the great Erasure return........Al least, should be.... A deep, modern and old at the same time. Minimalist, vocally baroque , as usual and profound lyrics that develop naturally as the brilliant and elegant Vince'sounds go playing.... A real Diamond.... no lies!

Aug 25, 2020A classic Erasure album, I find in it vestiges of many of his albums, something like a patent of his identity. While I loved World Be Gone, this album is more upbeat and a return to the more pop songs that we are used to. No point in tripping and Nerves of Steel are among the best that Erasure has done in her career of no less than 35 years.

Aug 21, 2020The 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.
-
Aug 21, 2020The Neon nestles the duo back into their musical comfort zone when they’re exceedingly capable of more.
-
Aug 20, 2020The Neon is stacked with what Erasure does best: Sharp melodic hooks, efficient, hip-shaking beats, and yearning lyrics that both relate and motivate.
