Odd Pet Shop Boys

Forty

(sleeve concept would be 40 small square photos of Neil and Chris, one for each year from 1984-2024).

Off topic, but this all just reminded me of New Order naming an album Republic, with artwork depicting two extremes.

Love that style of off-handed pop. I quite liked PSB's cover for Agenda - similar vein of wry observation.

But given this album is going to be "reminiscing", doubt they'd choose a name or artwork along those lines. Dare I say - it'd be something more like Release?

Cool idea. I think it would work for another group but somehow it doesn't feel 100% PSB.

Seems a bit obvious as well so can't see em using that

... but perhaps Pet Shop Boys - Forte could work

Well my idea behind the 40 squares is that it would be a nod to the inner sleeve of the original Please LP

Oh, I do like that..

Looooooove Forte.

Forte as in strong in Italian, a loud part in musical notations, a pun with forty (years). And maybe meaning a halt, as sailors use forte for halting the navigation? It kind of makes sense.

Forte (f) was a title considered for Introspective.

If Smash had being released this year rather than last it would be a good title for that.

Album

If not forte, you could have Fortified. Pet shop boys Fortified has a ring to it!
