- Excellent
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. This is a totally seperate album - more upbeat than Chorus, it makes you want to get up and dance. Two totally different moods. I think the "knocking on your door - 12 inch remix" is one of the best songs Erasure has ever made. I would not reccomend it as your first Erasure album, but, as a big Erasure fan, I have to say that I loved this album. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- Interesting and a must have for Erasure completists!
I was always kind of bummed that "Knocking on Your Door" never made it on the greatest hits album. At a brief 2.55 couldn't they have fit it on there somewhere? Anyway "The Hardest Part" is not a remake of the famous BLONDIE song (playing time 3.38). It sounds better after repeated listenings. "She Won't Be Home" is a lovely Christmas ballad (playing time 3.27). "STOP" Remix has a 5.44 playing time, while the "Knocking On Your Door" Remix has a 6.03 playing time (a little long but the first version I ever heard -- at a club in 1988). I bought the ep at the time and just now got the cd because I had an itch to have "Knocking on Your Door" on cd. Its nice that this cd is still in print.

- Got Crackers?
"Stop!" is one of my favorite Erasure songs. Upbeat and melodic, it's a classic. The 12" version is ok. "The Hardest Part" is a mid tempo track that is simple and sweet. "She Won't Be Home," with a Holiday theme is mellifluous and light, a gem. The versions of "Knocking On Your Door" are fair, I liked the other songs better... Customer review - July 15, 1998
- Excellent - a fine transition between their two best albums
Crackers International ranks right up there with Erasure's best works. This is a necessary album for any Erasure fan! And just so you can refer this against your personal Erasure tastes, I judged this album against "The Innocents" and "Wild", which I believe to be their best albums.

- Not the Best
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 |
