I have a hard time that they will ever beat "Very", but music is a personal preference, so every human has its own view.

I haven't heard Fundamental yet, so I may be wrong but i seem to recall everyone saying that Release was their best album when that came out. Some people were comparing it to Behaviour!

I think the only way to be able to judge how much you like a PSB album is to see how you feel about it twelve months after release. I was intially really disapointed with Nightlife, yet over the years I have come back to that album and decided it's actually rather good.

Only 3 weeks to go until I can listen to it. Can´t wait. I´m counting days already.

Don't have a clue where it stands yet , but no way it's there best.

It's much much too early to tell. When "Nightlife" came out, I thought it was as good as anything they had ever done, but it hasn't aged very well.

Anyway, I feel certain that even in a few years time, I will prefer Fundamental to Bilingual and I will prefer it to Release. From there on it gets tough. Only time will tell, really.

What I do know is that Fundamental is my favourite album of 2006 so far. My top 5 goes:

1. Pet Shop Boys: Fundamental
2. West End Girls: ...Goes Petshopping
3. Sparks: Hello Young Lovers
4. Above & Beyond: Tri-State
5. BWO: Halcyon Days

Why do people say' imperial albums' or 'imperial phase'? You're only saying that because Neil said it in interviews.

Think for yourselves!

No offence intended.

Well, it's a fact that it's better than Release, Bilingual, Nightlife and even Please. This album only can be compared with Actually, Introspective, Behaviour and Very.

I'd really want to know why so many of you regard Very as a very good album... is it really?. I don't agree.

Fundamental is great, one of their best: that's out of any question. And what is more... it's their best produced album ever.
The best could remain Behaviour anyway... I think this requieres much more time to say... a couple of years or so.

1) Behaviour
2) Actually
3) Please
4) Fundamental/Introspective

Maybe too early but...

"Fundamental" is my favorite PSB album ! And I've been a fan since 1987... It's the only one I don't feel like skipping a track.

That's hardly a fact. Especially since Please is their best album.

Nothing beats the first magnificent three, where they fantastically blended pop and art...all of others were either too much pop or too much art or just shit...

But Minimal...it is a different story...

I'll bet you the album's rubbish.
