Title: Queer Ear For The Straight Guy
Review: Gay disco at it's most commercially repugnant; there isn't a hummable track on this hour-long spiral into the depths of top 40 club-land. Not that Erasure was ever inventive or ground-breaking [they were not], but there were hints of campy nostalgia within each superficial album, which propelled Bell to utilize his atrociously schmaltzy vocals to grand, if not hammy, effect. On `Electric Blues' he takes his `art' serious, folks, and by serious I mean dueting with his offspring, Jake Shears, and losing the preciousness that endeared him to his aging queer fan base. My grade: C
