New Album : "Yes, Pet Shop Boys"

[Ghost within this house]

The Completists out there will have a field day:

the album will be available in eight different shades of mauve (each with a different font), and we'll all be collecting

'Oui, Pet Shop Boys'

'Da, Pet Shop Boys'

etc.....

The album is set to sell millions worldwide, as the 350-strong fanbase are each expected to buy 3,000 copies of the album.

A bonus CD, available in turquoise bubble-wrap, will come with the first 734,220 copies sold in Europe. It will be called:

'No, Pet Shop Boys'
'Non, Pet Shop Boys'
'Niet, Pet Shop Boys' (we've already had that one, Ed.)

meh.



Are we to expect a totally different sound, I wonder?

[Fugitive1979]

We've already had "Pet Shop Boys, actually", so "Yes, Pet Shop Boys" seems to be in a similar vein to that.

I like it.

After Fundamental (a bit coming back of the old PSB sound) and supposing the new album sounds different ("Love, etc" according to Popjustice doesn't sound like anything they had done before), it makes sense. It's like they wanted to say this album doesn't sound as PSB but YES, it's PSB.

Let's see how many other people can make the same observation in a single thread!

Here's another one: if PSB generally have a reputation (fairly or unfairly) for the wistful and ironic, perhaps this is another of those ghastly 'positive energy' moments - so the 'yes' is an indication of an affirmative attitude on the album.

We'll have six Was it worth it?s and six New York City Boys!

It's a great "starting fresh"-kinda name. A bit like New Order's Get Ready

Yes, didn't they have a "No" album?

Not as such. "No" just stood for New Order on the cover of Waiting For The Sirens' Call.

It's simple, but I like it.

It'd be funny if one of the album tracks is "Yes In A No Kind Of Way".

The orgasmic version is called "yes, Yes, YES YES YES"

[Patrick Bateman]

I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes by the Pet Shop Boys

...well, quite.

I think Pet Shop Boys, perhaps sounds much better. Less affirmative, sneakier and more uncertain.

In that case they should put Salvador Dali on the cover art:

It might confuse some consumers into expecting a 70s prog-rock concept album about pet shops.

[TG]

Yep it's "Yes"

On the OS


"Pet Shop Boys would like to wish all visitors to this site a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. We look forward to the release in March of the new Pet Shop Boys' album, "Yes"."
