Mar 16, 2020Good stuff all around from a band that makes it look easy by keeping true to what got it here in the first place.
-
Jan 24, 2020Hotspot, finds the famed duo tackling the modern condition once again with equal parts passion and cheek.
-
Jan 23, 2020Hotspot teeters somewhere between their ballad-heavy album Behaviour (1990) and 1988’s shimmering dance record Introspective. ..You sense this album is intended as an expression of hope for the future, rather than a fond look back.

UncutJan 27, 2020More than witty and vivacious enough to satisfy anyone who's stuck with the saga thus far. [Mar 2020, p.35]
-
Jan 24, 2020There are still more than enough highlights on Hotspot to make the record worthwhile, and when they put their mind to it Tennant and Lowe’s wordsmithery is still as sharp as ever.
-
Jan 23, 2020There’s nothing to suggest in Hotspot that Pet Shop Boys are running low on inspiration. The album’s highs are high enough to further prove that the duo has had the most consistent career of any of their synth-pop peers.
-
MojoJan 23, 2020Not Pet Shop Boys in highest definition, Hotspot still provides a vivid panorama of their world. [Mar 2020, p.86]
