I've had an overwhelming urge to listen to some Pet Shop Boys, no bad thing and indeed they have a new album out, 'Nonetheless'. Sadly despite getting to #2 in the album chart and being hailed the greatest PSB's album in 30 years, it's a bit shit. Chris Lowe's electronics are OK but Neil's vocals are shot, despite the obvious studio trickery. Not his fault, he's pushing 70 but FFS. In desperation they shoved out a bonus disc of four old hits revamped, but these are awful too.
In a situation such as this, a listen to the first track from the first album is in order.
