Jul 16, 2013I really didn't think that Elysium was a bad album, but it is quite impressive how soon they were able to come up with this! Electric contains some of their best songs in years and not a single weak track. Love is a bourgeois construct should be released as a single!
-
Jul 16, 2013After Elysium, which wasn't bad but according to PSB standards a definite disappointment, this is indeed a return to form. Great achievement. Sets a terrific precedent as the first album on their own label. Makes me want to get back to Europe!!!!!

Jul 18, 2013Wonderful album! Taking in consideration their 27-year presence in the tops of all the countries it's a phenomena with no doubt! And they still sound fresh and create fantastic melodies and sound!

Jul 19, 2013It is an amazing album. A big comeback of pet shop boys and definitely their best album to date. It is a smart album and knows how to please people, fun and joyful.
-
Jul 28, 2013The Boys demonstrate their quality. Their age should not be considered by the radio stations when programming. Tracks like Numb where underrated. Electric should be rated with justice.

Sep 3, 2020Best album of 2013 by far. The first 3 tracks start off the album with a bang, the middle 3 keep it going, and the final 3 tracks end it with a bang. The 8th track, Thursday, has an excellent part with Example. Recommend buying it on CD or digital.

Jul 16, 2013This is the best album from the PSB in the last years. Remake Last to die is finest track on this CD. Fabulous music inventions, nice dynamic, really recommended.

Jul 26, 2013I can't agree with all of the reviews that claim that last year's Elysium was lacklustre, but Electric is the sound of an act that sounds confident, forward-looking and powerful. This is pretty remarkable given that they have been never stopped producing high quality material for thirty years.

-
Nov 22, 2014Amazing. The best album in my opinion since Introspective (apart from Love is a Bourgeois Construct, which is funny but a bit too "hooked on classics". Otherwise excellent. Keep it up.

Apr 4, 2016A Good Album, An album that deserved Acclaim??? I Don't think so...
Yes, most of half of album is very good is brilliantly producing but, have some bad tracks... To be acclaim.
The Album "Yes" (2009) of too Pet Shop Boys is light years better than this one, a Masterpiece that really deserved Acclaim not this one.... -
Dec 30, 2015..............................Love is a bourgeois construct,Axis,Vocal,Thursday,The last to die is really great.............. bolshy is so-so shothing in the evening, fluorescent and inside a dream is just good.
-
Apr 2, 2016yES Is so much better than Electric, Electric have good songs?? Yes he have, but in the album Yes (2009), have all tracks that is excellents.............

Awards & Rankings

Aug 1, 2013Springsteen cover ‘The Last To Die’, is a witty aside, but throbbing 4/4 dominates as the electronic legends make a welcome return to their roots.
-
Jul 23, 2013Throughout the record a pleasing balance of melody and repetition is maintained.
-
Jul 23, 2013Electric isn't quite electrifying in the way that Very and Introspective and "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" are, but nearly every track has a moment or two that ignites seemingly long-gone enthusiasm.
