Pet Shop Boys - Nonetheless (new album)

[Jocasta Clun]

My Girl

NO

What's in the water at the PSB household lately? I feel like they're having one of the best runs of their career.

"Beauty Has Laid Siege..." is gorgeous

 

[Jocasta Clun]

It IS isn't it? All The Young Dudes is QUITE UNNECESSARY

 

[FetchFugly]

They seem to be pushing All the Young Dudes more than New London Boy too, with the (cheap) video and it has been playlisted on Radio 2. I guess they are trying to flog the new version of the album but not sure this is the way.

There have been plenty of treats in the b-sides this era. They've certainly been prolific.

Performing All The Young Dudes and West End Girls at the MTV Europe Music Awards. A sentence I wouldn't expect to be typing in 2024.

 

[funky]

That was wonderful!

 

[FetchFugly]

The visual was very impressive but the phrasing of All the Young Dudes just doesn't suit Neil at all.

 

[rhythmba-la-la-la-la]

They're the sole musical guests on the forthcoming Strictly Come Dancing results show on Sunday in Blackpool.

 

[Christian]

That looked pretty spectacular and Neil seemed to be having a ball! All The Young Dudes didn't seem as terrible in context, but I can't see myself ever popping it on for a listen.

@Halli any One Show sole guest prospects ?

Ugh
6/10 and Erasure remain better

BITE ME MOOPY!!

 

[FetchFugly]

GLORIOUS

 

[funky]

Have they EVER, in their entire career, been this PROLIFIC?

 

[SystemAddict]

Ugh

BITE ME MOOPY!!

Can we please stop pitting strong independent synthpop duos of power against each other? It smacks of melophobia.

Funky in too young to remember 1985 - 87 SHOCKER.

Not too young. She’s …. Forgetful, I guess.

 

[funky]

All The Young Dudes actually charting on the midweeks (albeit at #87)... with the Christmas songs still climbing rapidly it will probably sadly drop out by Friday but still - that must be their best singles performance in quite a while?

 

[FetchFugly]

Dark end of the street has been given a milder Always On My Mind treatment with some lovely orchestral bits and a glorious extended outro. The vocal feels a little buried and a bit of a struggle in spots but this is a much better fit than All the young dudes.

I like Adrenaline but I see why it didn't make the cut for the main album.

 

[Christian]

All combined 54 new tracks, edits, mixes and demos. Not bad for a single album

Yes they've rather flooded us with tracks this year. The quantity of material is much higher than the three independent albums, I guess Parlophone may have encouraged all this.

Presumably 2025 will be a quiet year but perhaps there will be some back catalogue cultivation.

The Nonetheless instrumentals have LEAKED for those of us who appreciate a BREAK from KERMIT
