This is Erasure's first album. I didn't own it until I already owned at least 5 of their later albums. You know how sometimes you can get to know a band really well from their later work and then you go back and buy their debut it sounds like crap compared to what they would eventually become? This is not the case with Erasure. They came out spitting pure fire as a fully-realized group from the very start.
Seriously, they had "Oh L'Amour" on this album which is one of their greatest and most timeless hits. The only throwaway on the whole album is "Say What." If you listen to Pop! first and then go back and listen to Wonderland, you'll be shocked at how much of the album is worthy of being on Pop! It's just that good.
