    What an excellent album. Entertaining from start to finish.
    Undoubtedly best in its genre this year. Outdoing Pet Shop Boys with ease.
    Not getting the rates it deserves.

    I'm blown away at how fresh and modern this album feels while still maintaining Yello's coveted and beloved musical style. I hear bits and pieces from all of their previous albums on it and it makes me very happy. Not crazy about the album cover as it doesn't convey the mood of the songs but standout tracks for me are 30,000 Days, Electrified, Starlight Scene and Blue Biscuit.

    This latest Toy of theirs is a lot of fun, even if it could have been better still had Meier had been given a bigger part.

    Dieter Meier’s vocals are a little grizzled but retain their dark chocolate vibes. He’s the bohemian who’s seen it all but can’t stop partying, reflecting this in the lyrics. He does however need a few disco naps, these being filled adequately by party guests.

    Toy doesn't sound especially innovative, but it certainly demonstrates that Yello haven't been resting on their laurels, and at its best, the album applies new thinking in electronic pop with the melodic and production approaches that have always been part of Yello's music, for a set that's fresh but unmistakably their work.
