5.0 out of 5 stars Their Best Album, March 20, 2001

(REAL NAME)   
Without a doubt, this is their best album. Every song on this CD is a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars a disco-casa with 6 rooms of 80s disco fun and sorrow, July 14, 1998
An over-the-top symphonic disco-romp called "Left To My Own Devices" finds Neil Tennant reading from the diary of a struggling party animal. In the next room, legendary Chicago House pioneer Frankie Knuckles makes a producer cameo on "I Want A Dog" while in another room Miami-pop legend Lewis Martinee (of Expose fame) lends his talents to the brassy, latin and vacation-esque Domino Dancing. On the patio a housy remix of the boys' hit "Always On My Mind" glides into the celebration of "It's Alright." Outside in the night our tragic hero disappears into insincere streets full of lying actors and barking dogs on "I'm Not Scared." The boys leave the playful freedom of the 80s to return with regretful retrospecitve glances on the LP Behaviour.

5.0 out of 5 stars 6 tracks worth 15-song albums., April 4, 2006
This is an album including 6 songs but feeling an eternity of pure joy and enthuasism. Opening track Left To My Open Devices should be an anthem in showing how everything in the kitchen sink may work so fittingly...from party animals to Debussy to nasal, rap-like singing to high-backvocals to strings to drum programming. It is a joyful dazzling experience of 6-minute pop indulgence.

The rest is not so different but things go suberp again in their own rendition of "I'm not Scared" in which Neil renders one of his most heart wrenching inquiries into a lying, non-faithful, elusive love, to whom he challenges and invites her/ him to fight against those "dogs"...but as usual with PSB, relations are not that eternally happy moments.

The house club version of Always On My Mind strikes a different chord with a nice interpretation, fully swelling into the majestic and piercing high energy progress of the wonderful single version.

Another hidden gem is a former B side, I want a Dog which is specially remixed by Knuckle for the album, which harbours joyful piano moments.

Introspective is the ultimate commercial-pop combination in Pet Shop Boys' ouvre, closing the circle that started with Please and peaked in Actually, which showcases Boys' brilliance how pop is done, before the duo sadly moved into more experimental waters.

One of the most glorious pop albums of all time, Introspective is ten times the price its tag bears...more accurately, it is priceless.
