    The best release since "I Say I Say I Say". Very melodic, many nuances, very well produced record.
    This was a return to form, over a decade.

        This may stand out as one of their strongest releases to date. And, I liked "Loveboat," & "Cowboy," holds too many
        personal meanings to list here.

        Anyhow, it harkens back to some of sonic soundscapes of 1995's "Erasure," which is kind of ironic, as Vince solely used software in the arrangement and recording of this album. This is of course, a deviation from his standard analog synth roots. Even still the music and especially Andy's vocals come across even more soulful than ever. I really believe that his delivery is what makes or breaks many an Erasure track.

        "Breathe," is truly a beautiful tune, and I can't figure out the reason why I can't get it out of my head. I've been listening to it non-stop since the album came out. With the additional background vocals of Jill Walsh, it again brings Andy's full vocal range to the surface. You can sense the duality of angst/relief in his voice, while listening to the heartfelt lyrics. This track is a must listen for anyone who has ever been in a situation where they were struggling with the decision whether to stay or go, whatever that may be. Listen to it a few times, and you'll probably get what I am speaking of. Yeah, I'm really a sap at heart.
