    The only difference between this album and their previous albums is the cover. Each song sounds just like the rest, there is nothing new here by them that we haven't heard over and over and over.

  1. For the first time in years, Pet Shop Boys sound thrillingly modern. The songs, too, are the finest in years.
  2. It’s just a shame to have squandered the momentum of the Brits by turning in a weaker album than the lower key "Fundamental;" a good two decades after the event, the Pet Shop Boys have well and truly entered middle age.

    In the grand, elegiac 'Legacy,' singer Neil Tennant delivers what's either a farewell kiss or simply a cheeky end to the most thoroughly heartfelt chapter in the pair's 25-year story.
