Crackers International [EP]~ Erasure is an interesting ep. Not that great; yet not that bad either. An enigma one could call it. But 4/5 it does deserve.

4.0 out of 5 stars The hardest part, Oct 29 2003

Erasure is perhaps my favorite synth-pop groups from the '80s. Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode/Yaz fame) and Andy Bell have an uncanny ability to churn out some of the catchiest pop music I have ever heard. One of my all time favorite Erasure songs is the melancholy "She Won't Be Home". The melodies are so sweet and catchy yet if you listen to the lyrics, the song is pretty sad. Only Erasure could combine melancholy lyrics with infectious pop melodies. "Stop!" is a groovy little dance song. I prefer the original over the 12" remix but I wouldn't go as far as say that the remix was bad. I just can't get into remixes as I once was when I was in college. "Knocking On Your Door" epitomizes new wave music with its catchy synth beats. In the case of this song, I got into the 12" remix. Although "Crackers International" had no "A Little Respect" or "Chains of Love", it is still a worthy edition for Erasure fans I think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best, May 21 2001

Joe Diaz (AltaDena, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

Ok, I wont say that this is the best but i have to say that there are a couple of gems in this, "The Hardest Part" is an excellent cover of Blondie's original. The obvious great is "Stop" but dont buy it for just that, gosh go buy the greatest hits for that! The other is "She wont be home" which is always played around Christmas time and rightfully so. Enjoy

"Stop!" is one of my favorite Erasure songs. Upbeat and melodic, it's a classic. The 12" version is ok. Read more

I bought this tape on a whim years ago, and I am very much considering getting another copy on CD. Somebody compared this to Chorus, and I don't think that is fair. Read more
