I'm really starting to look forward to this now.By the sounds of this, it's going to be a momentous, celebratory year for the Pet Shop Boys. Their return to action at the Brits, the ceremony where they once had a miners' choir back them up on Go West, offers an opportunity for these middle aged popstars to go absolutely wonderfully mental. And lead single Love Etc is certainly ripe for pulling out the miners again with its Go West meets Chumbawamba call and response.
There are plenty of other big theatrical moments on Yes. Building a wall sees more toing and froing between Chris and Neil on lines like "Protection/Prevention/Detection/Detention" and a classic Tennantism "I'm building a wall/a fine wall/not so much to keep you out/More to keep me in". Oh, and a ridiculous talky bit where Neil gets romantic about British things like a cup of tea to which Chris responds: "Who'd you think you are? Captain Britain?" It's very funny.
Elsewhere, the politics-meets-the-personal thread that dominates last album Fundamental is shed. Instead, Yes is stuffed to the gills with L.O.V.E. There's unashamedly sunny pop like Did You See Me Coming? and drop-down-on-your-knees epicness on the six minute Legacy as Neil begins: "That's it/The end/But you'll get over it/My friend".
An instant hit is The Way It Used To Be, which takes the electronic euphoria of Faithless and submerges it in sadness. It is completely beautiful with a brilliant final bit where Neil sings "Then and there/I'd knew that I lost you" as it gets all swizzy. You will want to go for a lie down in a darkened room afterwards and have a little blub.

yes it sounds but I think (and hope that) the boys will release at least 2 more albums, they still got a lot to offerLleonard Pler wrote:Thanks for the effort, Suburban_Boy!
The album sounds amazing, I can't wait to hear it. This review has put my hype at maximum levels!
"Legacy" sounds like a goodbye song.
It's at the start of the song.drunk14 wrote:''That's it/The end/But you'll get over it/My friend''
I hope it means the end of the album...not a career
it could end with this line tooPatrick Bateman wrote:It's at the start of the song.drunk14 wrote:''That's it/The end/But you'll get over it/My friend''

Assume an LP for the Ballet + Disco 5. Then, maybe a final round up of rare recordings etc...
That would be the last 3 albums on the current deal.
You're then left with pleasingly round figures:
10 Studio Albums
5 albums in the Disco series
A Musical, A Film Score & A Ballet
