Cowboy (Erasure)

After seeing this cheap in a store only to find that the actual disc had been stolen from the case, I decided I had to go ahead and get Erasure's Cowboy album. Overall, it's a relatively strong release, neither the best nor the worst album I've heard from them. Singles like "Rain" and "Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me," combined with strong album tracks like "Save Me Darling" make up some of this release's highlights. On the other hand, one or two songs drag a bit, and the remake of "Rapture" isn't anything too special; on the other hand, the version of "Magic Moments" is thoroughly enjoyable. Basically, while this isn't Erasure's best album, fans of artists in the duo's vein will certainly find some tracks on here they like.

Tracks:
1. Rain
2. Worlds on Fire
3. Reach Out
4. In My Arms
5. Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me
6. Precious
7. Treasure
8. Boy
9. How Can I Say
10. Save Me Darling
11. Love Affair
12. Rapture
13. Magic Moments
