Title: The Pet Shop Boys have done better than this.
Review: Sorry, but I was quite disappointed with this album. I was expecting something as rich and deep as "Behaviour". But what came out was something (in my point of view) as basic and poorly written as a rave-dance-track. The lyrics are 2nd rate, the rhymes are laughable and the (beautiful) music (they used to write) was overcame by dance beats, latin beats, even Bossa Nova-like beats. "Discoteca" and "Single" are mindless tracks that keep repeating themselves. "Electricity" is as boring and dull as "Up Against It". "It Always comes as a Surprise" is an easy melody helped by a likable bossa nova mood. I guess only "Survivors", "Before" and "Saturday Night Forever" actually keep this album afloat. But barely. Try their older albums instead!
