5.0 out of 5 stars Singularly Hitting Their Mark, September 10, 2005

By 

thattherepaul (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bilingual (Audio CD)

As if emerging from a swanky beach house, The Boys hit a smooth and consistently rich stride on their sixth album. "Discoteca" and "Single" accompany a sophisticated pleasure traveler with Spanish rhythm, "Metamorphosis" recapitulates an introverted man's growing up, while the beautiful "It Always Comes As A Surprise" seems to capture the northerner's amazement at his first night in tropical paradise. The self-referential "Electricity" and proud stances of "Up Against It" and "To Step Aside" show an artistry and intellectual cleverness that never falls out of rhythm, while "Se A Vida E," "Before," and "Saturday Night" celebrate sweetness in life without running aground, as happy anthems so often do, on shallow bromides, cliches, or repetitiveness. The Pet Shop Boys have given us a library of fine albums, and often, even finer remixes, and this inventive and pleasurable album perhaps shows them at their best so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting PSB, May 3, 2000

By 

"brettsea" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bilingual (Audio CD)

This is such a great CD. I have listened to it so many times and always come away uplifted; it gives me a boost. This is my favourite PSB CD; even better than Very, because all the tracks fit together so well and are all so enjoyable. "Metamorphosis" and "The Survivors" stand out as my favourites. The remixed CD is also very good.
