You know Erasure - the electro-pop band from the 80s that you danced around to in your bedroom? These fellas did songs like "A Little Respect," "Chains of Love," "Take a Chance on Me" and "Oh l'Amour" and listening to any one of these songs should evoke some level of teen/pre-teen angst or memories of one of your parents dancing around while doing housecleaning. They've got a new album out and it's...

Andy Bell and Vince Clarke still have the same attitude and spirit that marked their '80s hits, which run the gamut from exuberant ("Chains of Love") to melancholy ("Ship of Fools"). The good news: The new songs are great -- especially "Sunday Girl" and "Sucker For Love." The bad news: The pacing of the show was off at times.
