Title: IF YOU LIKE THIS, YOU ARE A DIE-HARD FAN
Review: I enjoy Erasure's music, and I've bought quite a few tripe records of theirs in recent years simply to see what they do next. But c'mon, guys, you've got to draw the line somewhere. Union Street was bad enough, but the live show was just a dreadful embarrassment. I've heard junior high school bands play in better time than this tossed-together touring band that clearly would have rather been elsewhere. And these arrangements . . . ugh.If you must, download a track or two. If you haven't heard enough acoustic versions of Spiraling to last you a life time, the version here is fun. If you buy this album, you are clearly a true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool Erasure fan. Anyone but the utmost completist should take a pass.
