    The best PSB album, nocap. I am incredibly surprised that an album such as Electric indeed got a better score.

    ...............................................................................................................Amazing Album ,The Last Masterpiece of Pet Shop Boys, Elysium (2012) is very Weak, and Electric (2013) is better than Elysium (2012) but is not one Masterpiece like critics say...

    Amazing Album!!!!, The Best Since Very (1993), Even Fundamental (2006), Being also a great album, this surpasses too much...

    More Than A Dream, Pandemonium, The Way It Used To Be, Building Wall, Did You See Me Coming,All Over The World & Vulnerable are Masterpieces....

    For me, this is PSB best album. Brilliantly produced with soft, sweet and irresistable melodies. The last album from PSB I enjoyed listening to was Very. After that, I've found them quite boring. Yes came as a total surprise. Great!

    It's a wonderful album and i just keep listening to it again and again and again. i should say i didn't expect it would be that good. really great. i gave it 9 cause i rarely give 10 to anything (10 is just a divine perfection.

    Absolute best Pet Shop Boys release since "Very" over 15 years ago. A few of the tunes will prove to be dance floor hits in the halls of electronica... no doubt about it. The rest is pure POP done right.

    This album is extremely refreshing. As a matter of fact, it is condensed with many potential hits that we will remember even years from now. The lyrics are also very interesting and on top of that, the songs are as catchy as ever.

    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.

    Simply put, this is classic Pet Shop Boys -- their best collection of new material since 1993's 'Very.' These "boys" are now in their fifties, but the music they create remains fresh and vital.

    For the first time in years, Pet Shop Boys sound thrillingly modern. The songs, too, are the finest in years.

    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.
