I quite love Erasure, but the bass on their new album Loveboat is criminal.. It makes everything distorted. However, there are some great songs on the new album. If you have the capability of tunring the bass low on your stereo everything works out.
Actually, I find Carry Your Flag heavily Erasuresque. It's got lots of Vince Clarke synth sounds from the I Say I Say I Say era.
That's the first thing that caught my attention. But I love that etheral sound.
Vince and Andy are really great people though, and very down to earth. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with them a few times. They're incredibly nice! I don't think it's fair though to say that Erasure have not evolved, because they really really have. You can't listen to Wonderland, Wild, I Say I Say I Say, Erasure, and Loveboat and say that there has been no progression. Although I agree that the erasure "sound" has pretty much always been there. So I can understand how people find a consistent link between the albums, thereby concluding that there hasn't been much progression.
