I do love this album but also kind of feel like it’s their New Jersey.
Nah, it just rules. It feels Imperial, imo, like a fulfillment of proof of concept or something. It's also the first one to have Alan Moulder fully behind the boards mixing (though he and Flood make credit appearances on "Psychocandy"!), and Moulder really knows how to make drum machines and guitar noise pop.

It does sound great. The only thing that bothers me — just a little bit — is that the first two records feel very natural and effortless to me (whether or not they actually are), whereas there are parts of this one, particularly in the vocals, where it seems a little forced in a way that I find distracting. Mostly kidding about the New Jersey thing though; I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve done since then to a certain degree (well, except for Stoned & Dethroned, never got into that one) and definitely looking forward to the new one.

Automatic sounds great and I could pick nearly any track as my fave on any given day - but it is pretty samey. I would struggle to listen to it in its entirety but love any track that pops up on shuffle.

Wait this is amazing? Erasure is top 5 groups for me and I never knew this!!
Also
They are the same! "Between Planets" and "Head On" are the same song. That's what makes JAMC awesome.

Absolutely love both of these but I think I'd go with BP. It's the song of theirs I listen to most often
