Customer Reviews A synth-pop classic "A Little Respect" and "Chains of Love" are such absolute powerhouses of pop and drive that nothing else this often uneven album can dish out could possibly ruin my feelings for this. There are a couple of songs on here that are so catchy, so infectious, and so happily upbeat, that I have to give this album at least four stars just for them. The songs that are good on this album are REALLY good--at least for what they are, cheesy 1980s synthpop--and even the songs that aren't so great are generally pretty memorable. That's not to say that some of these songs aren't so gay that the average heterosexual guy will hesitate to ever play them alone in the company of his male friends. (I know I would. ) Lyrical sample of just such a song: "No, I will never step into your shoes, I'll dance in my chamber without you. " Ergh. But whatever. The best songs on here are made for driving--"A Little Respect," "Chains of Love," "Phantom Bride," "Yahoo!" It's good stuff, loaded with memories if you heard it back when it was fresh, and still saturated with a driving rhythm that's aged respectably well. Dated as all hell, but still, just so much fun. Recommended. Out does Wonderland... All tracks on the cd are excellent, theres not one filler to be found. This is the album that estabalished Erasure as one of the best synth-pop bands of all time. Best tracks are a little respect, phantom bride, chains of love, and weight of the world. Highly recommend for any 80s enthusiast!. Innocents Review One of my favorites. Great CD. Great to leave on repeat. "Yahoo!" is one of my favorite songs to work out to. . You can see a complete list of all Erasure discography, or go back to the Erasure tabs
