This CD harks back to 80s--appropriate since the PSB are a band of that decade--even though they have been releasing albums for 15 years. Their music is not as melancholy as it has been in the past. "New York City Boy" is the Pet Shop Boys "Believe!" The opening song, "For Your Own Good," is real dance oriented and should be their next single. This song opened their recent concert here and is really indicative of the PSB music. Brilliant yet accessible. "Closer to Heaven" is classic PSB. The Pet Shop Boys write thoughtful lyrics with highly memorable music. A must for every PSB fan and non-fan!
