Everything I've read about this album indicates it's going to be a great one. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the title clarification, Vinny. "I'm with Stupid" actually would make a funny album title. And, yeah, I'm in the disappointed with "Release" camp. They do much better with that so-generic-its-unique nonorganic sound. Very excited about the new one. Wow. That's a really nice way of describing their sound. Fits very well. | |

I never really got into it so maybe someone who did like it or gave it more of a chance could tell you. While "Behavoir" something that was natural, "Release" seemed like making a non-dance album just to say that they could. i get what you are saying, and i felt that way at first, but Release grew on me after a while. I think Birthday Boy is an amazing track... and Home and Dry is one of my favorite PSB singles. I liked "Home and Dry," too. That's a great song. Vinny actually hipped me to that track a couple years back on here. | |

No arguement there. | |

I'm with you, NorthernLad on these tunes, especially "Sexy Northerner" the original + all mixes of that tune are great. Others I'm fond of... A New Life (up there with my all time fave PSB cuts) Bet She's Not Yr Grrrlfriend I Want a Dog Losing My Mind | |

Absolutely can't wait! Just got into the PSB about a year ago, and I've had a great time diving into their catalog. Unlike most of you, I really like 'Release', but don't care much for 'Nightlife'.
I'd really like an album along the lines of 'Flamboyant', though. I've been listening to that one on repeat lately. My favorite B-sides are: Don Juan (one of my favorite PSB songs ever) Paninaro I Get Excited (You Get Excited Too) Losing My Mind I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

One of my fav PSB b-sides is "Your Funny Uncle", it's got such
beautiful melodic structure in the vocals "another life begins today" The best PSB b-side of all time is still "In The Night". what an amazing song. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

About time they did a follow-up of all the remaining B-sides.
I love so many of them but two that come to mind from that album are 'Miserabilism' and 'Decadence'.  | |

My favourite line has always been: 'Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning, It shows the world that you've got substance and depth'. Pure Pet Shop Boys.  | |

I always have a hard time picking 'favorites', but I have to say, Shameless is absolutely an awsome commentary on pop musicians. -->> This Space 4 Rent <<--

Pure Pet Shop Boys. so true. even without the music, just from those lyrics you would know that it'd have to be a pet shop boys song. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

I think I've taken those lyrics a little too literally over the years, too.  I always look like I've got a face like a smacked arse.  | |

I used to get that all the time. I could be swinging from the chandeliers, grinning inanely and prancing around in a tutu and someone would still say 'Cheer up!'. 
The exact words not to cheer you up. | |

I so, so, so want to like this new album. I hate falling out of love with my favourite musicians. It's like a divorce. And I'm the bitter ex-wife. | |

Okay, ya'll have made me decide to go and try to get my PSB collection updated by the time the next album comes out. Went out at lunch and grabbed 'Bilingual' from the local used cd store, just four more to go. I have, however, remembered why I 'fell off the bandwagon,' it's becouse it became impossible to find the 'special edition' cd's at the local stores i frequent (yeah, i'm too old fashioned to buy on line), thus my copy of bilingual is not the two cd version i always wanted.  maybe someday. Still, can't wait to get it onto my iPod...
Question: is PopArt worth it for someone w/all the albums? a quick look over the tracklist tells me no... [Edited 2/22/06 14:54pm] -->> This Space 4 Rent <<--

It might be notable that all the songs are the hit verisons (the remixes of "I Wouldn't Normally Do..." and "Yesterday.." among others except for "Heart", I think). Also, I would say it's worth it almost alone for the two new tracks. Both amazing. Surprisingly, "Flamboyant" is more dancable than "Miracles", which is slightly dramatic. Also. go online and track down those special editions! | |
