This album arrived shortly after singer Andy Bell's revelation that he had been living with HIV for more than six years, suffering from debilitating pain. It's no wonder the music carries a more somber tone than the sugar-smacked synth-pop of '80s hits "Chain of Love" and "Blue Savannah." But it's hardly a gloomy affair. Yes, there is a more ominous tone to lyrics like "The tears that are falling, there's no room for doubt." And yes, the choruses aren't quite as chaotic. But for the most part this is vintage Erasure, right down to the Casio-sounding keyboards that permeate tracks like "Here I Go Impossible Again" and the ABBA imbued cheek of "Don't Say You Love Me." Erasure is clearly a band too engrossed by life to be knocked down by its mundane realities. --Aidin Vaziri

This is a must have for all Erasure fans....great harmony and music....heaven for the ears!!! A lot of songs not from their greatest hits....but all memorable.

Touched my soul...
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
I have been an erasure fan since high school and love most of their work/albums. I do however prefer their older albums/music but Nightbird has touched my soul like no other album. Each of the 11 songs has amazing meaning and affected me on a very personal level. Andy's lyrics are so meaningful and touching. In particular the song which meant the most to me was track #9 - "I Broke It All in Two"...which explained all that was bottled up in my heart. Nightbirds songs have helped me realize my loss, my inner feelings, my inner emotions, my mistakes, and realize/changed my life. I must say it may be me at my particular point in my life with the loss of my love but the music/singing is beautiful nonetheless and everyone whom is an erasure fan will cherish this album. Nightbird has touched me like no other erasure album has. Nightbird is in my opinion, one of Andy and Vince's best albums to date. Thank you Andy and Vince for touching my soul.

Great Album!
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
This is another excellent Erasure album. I do not think this is a comeback album. Erasure has never released a bad album...it is just that all of the albums haven't necessarily gone mainstream. It is understandable that not everyone likes that Erasure still has an 80's sound. I think that good music is good music no matter what the time or sound is. They don't necessarily fit in with a lot of the junk that is currently on the radio and that is not really a bad thing. Erasure is not a band that will release an album with one good single just to make a million dollars like many of today's artists. I await every new Erasure release with the same excitement that I did 20 years ago.

The Erasure I Know and Love.
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
This is a really good album and I would definitely recommend it to any Erasure fan. It's not as good as their very best, but definitely as good as their second best albums. It has about three memorable songs and the others are enjoyable too.

Best in years
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
This album is the best stuff they've put out in years. "Sweet Surrender" is truly on my top-three list of ANY Erasure songs. I can happily listen to it over and over.
