Advantages: they're back...

Disadvantages: umm girls aloud?

The pet shop boys and the smiths both have something in common. Although vastly different, they sort of convey the same english intelligence which makes them respectively, well-respected entities of pop and indie. But as marr progressed to join the cribs and Morrisey continued to progress into a racist, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe proved to get worse and worse with every album they produced.
It seems that their downhill slump has ceased to continue with the release of this album.
In getting themselves 'up to date', believe it or not the Pet Shop Boys actually wrote a single for Girls Aloud, and it seems there is some correlation between that and the album.
For me this is not what I'm really into but the songs on here are
definitely not as cringe-worthy as some of the ones in their previous albums. Moreover they seem to have immersed themselves in pop culture to create an album which is not classic pet shop boys sound but a lot more modernised and up to date. It's almost unfair for me to review this album really as I'm not a pet shop boys fan, I just happen to know about it because someone else in my family likes them...honest!

Summary: better than their previous efforts
