May 27, 200619 yr Author Google Pet Shop Boys lyrics - there's the Fugitive lyrics on one of their fansites.
May 30, 200619 yr I got this earlier after hearing another song from it which I also thought was excellent, I got the double disc edition. I'll listen and give my verdict later. B)
May 30, 200619 yr I'm liking it a lot after the first listen. :D 'Integral' is clearly the best song on this album, I also love Psychological, The Sodom And Gomorrah Show, Minimal, Twentieth Century aswell as the current single. On the remixes disc, Richard X's remix of 'Fugitive' is smashing, and I love Stuart Chrichton's remix of 'In Private', nice and trancy.
May 31, 200619 yr I just got the album today and it's absolutely stomping!! I love it to bits already. "INTEGRAL" has to be a future single - great song!! I'm a bit baffled though as to why "I'M WITH STUPID" was the first single... I think it's one of the weaker songs on the album.
May 31, 200619 yr I really like 'I'm With Stupid', but that's probably because it's very similar to the stuff they were doing in the 80s, which I love. I think there's something for everyone on this album, it's just so cool!
June 2, 200619 yr Author I love Integral and Minimal (which was originally gonna be the first single). I really love 'Numb', too - it's a classic ballad. Great artwork, too.... I was surprised the album only went in at number 5, though.
June 2, 200619 yr Great artwork, too.... I was surprised the album only went in at number 5, though. I was quite pleased with Top5 after Nightlife (1999) & Release (2002) both made #7. Sadly, like a lot of 1980s British acts who are still going (reasonably) strong - Morrissey, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Duran Duran, etc - They can rely on their fanbase to sell a certain core amount of sales, but afterwards their albums will slip away quickly from the chart. I was quite pleased that they out sold Angels & Airwaves last week, but I would not be too surprised if the album slips to the lower reaches of the Top20 by Sunday's chart if not even lower. I still think that "Integral" HAS to be a single.
June 2, 200619 yr The album is totally awesome, the Sodom... Integral and Minimal are the highlights of the album, the rest of the album, is superbly mastered, the only odd track seems to be 'God Willing', its just too short.
June 2, 200619 yr Author One thing that disappoints me with the younger record buying audience is their total disregard for anything not on either MTV, Radio One or the kiddle pop shows. In other words - music like Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Morrissey etc. that is nowadays banished from Radio One and crops up on Radio Two only - hence giving the younger generation the idea it's 'old hat'. I remember growing up (just) and the bands from 10 and 20 years ago were hugely relevant to me - it doesn't seem this way whatsoever with teens today. Radio One gave equal daytime airplay to ALL artists, irrelevant of age or era - and the charts were better because of it. Why is this do you reckon?
June 2, 200619 yr Hey, I'm in my late teens and I love Pet Shop Boys to bits. :D Most people my age are obsessed with either Arctic Monkeys or some gantsta $h!t like 50 C*nt, that's why. People just don't have diverse enough music taste these days and don't embrace different types of music like I like to do.
June 2, 200619 yr I've supported PSB, Duran Duran and Depeche Mode right from the very beginning almost 20 years, its a shame radio play don't cater for these acts no more they seem to be regulated to Radio 2, they have really pulled thru the 80s and 90s, while girl and boy bands were dominating the 90s, and they soon disappeared cough cough Hepburn, etc, the 80s acts have really been tested and still surviving, and they are here to stay for a long time yet. its a shame PSB album has bombed this week, its a great album, kids today rather like to buy all the hip hop & R&B junk, no offence, mind you the music taste has changed, it just goes into phases.
