Thoughts
I wasn’t sure I’d like this album, Pet Shop Boys are great but a whole album could have been too much. Thankfully, there’s a mix of songs: slow and fast, meaningful and just fun, catchy and forgettable. It’s not one of my favourites but certainly a listenable 50 minutes of music.
Revisited - July 2023
I’m not sure what I was thinking with the review above. Pet Shop Boys have admittedly been hit and miss with me, but this is an album that has Heart, What Have I Done to Deserve This? and IT’S A SIN on it. What else can I ask for from an album, for goodness’ sake?
