John Drake Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've been listening to the new Pet Shop Boys album 'Elysium' for the past few days. I'd read a couple of reviews that said it wasn't their best work, with only a handful of standout tracks, but I bought it anyway being a fan. So far, the reviews appear to be spot on. It's not bad, but a lot of it is quite forgettable by their usual (IMO) lofty standards. Their most recent odds n ends collection 'Format' is, surprisingly, much more entertaining and varied. .

It's not bad, but a lot of it is quite forgettable by their usual (IMO) lofty standards. Their most recent odds n ends collection 'Format' is, surprisingly, much more entertaining and varied. John, I'd argue that the best bits on 'Elysium' sound like 'Behaviour', which is, in my opinion, the strongest PSB studio album (though 'Actually' runs it close). Having said that, some of the other bits on there are pretty dreadful. A mixed bag, but not their worst album. Having a Kraftwerk day today - lots of their albums back to back. Now on to "Computer World".

Just because there is something out there even worse doesn't make the thing you are comparing it to any good.

Leeds Wire Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 [media=] [/media] That's bloomin marvellous, thank you. Just looked them up and they seem like a genuinely good live band too. Their version of the classic 'Satta Massagana' is also very refreshing. Nice one Mr Futtocks, another new band to discover and cherish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a whim, I signed up to Real World records website, and one of the things they offered was a free download of the first 4 tracks of this album. I bought the whole thing pretty soon after! The pianist on this album, Samuel Yirga, got a solo deal from this collaboration, and he's pretty good too.

I was sticking strictly to the title of the thread; that was what shuffled it's way onto my playlist at the time of responding to Sev's post. Never thought of them as being overrated BTW.

Never thought of them as being overrated BTW. I have a mental block with some bands and won't listen to them. It's the same with the Smith's and Bruce Springsteen.
