Name the next Pet Shop Boys album

[Old Soak]

I think it'll be the third b-sides collection so:

Obverse

[Old Soak]

My life partner suggested that it's actually N&C who scan our thread for new album titles and find one that is to their liking. It's not us guessing or figureing out the title.

Given that the post 2-3 down from 2016's winning Nonetheless is "Smashing" that seems likely as that's too much of a coincidence to not be a truncation for the latest "Best of".

Tennant/Lowe Naked

Next b-side compilation: Obscure

[telys]

A six disc expansion of Alternative Format + a bonus disc with b-sides which were "forgotten" on the first two compilations.

Double album: 'Chemistry // Antagonism' ... following up on Chris Lowe’s jokingly delivered reply to presenter Vernon Kay's question in the 'Piano Room' session on BBC Radio 2, 23rd of February 2024.

Kay asked about what kind of chemistry Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have, when writing music and lyrics together. "Chemistry?! Antagonism!" Chris hilariously replied, before breaking the momentarily build-up tension with a laugh

That's a perfect title! You've won already, even if they don't use those titles for next albums.

[Distorted Vision]

To be honest, I've not really like the last few album titles. Never liked the titles: Yes, Elysium, Electric, Super or Hotspot.
Nonetheless never failed to disappoint. I would have much preferred Nevertheless. I don't anyone that actually uses the word "nonetheless" and it doesn't exactly roll of the tongue.

I think Nonetheless has a nice rhytmic ring to it.

Coupled (throwback to old advertising - c/w or b/w)
Flipped

Or Decoupled, as they’re presented without their a-sides.

[TwizzleUK]

The next B-sides compilation should be called 'Bonus'. Or maybe the original.intended title for 'Alternative' which was 'Besides'.
