HMV Review

Because they work in a field that isn't usually taken seriously, the Pet Shop Boys are often ignored in the rock world. But make no mistake -- they are one of the most talented pop outfits working today, witty and melodic with a fine sense of flair. Very is one of their very best records, expertly weaving between the tongue-in-cheek humor of I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing, the quietly shocking Can You Forgive Her?, and the bizarrely moving cover of the Village People's Go West. Alternately happy and melancholy, Very is the Pet Shop Boys at their finest. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

    teenにはバカ受けでした。完全にpsbworldに支配されてましたね。私も例外なく彼らの「コスプレ計画」とPVにぞっこんでした。しかし今聞くと、オレンジの幻影が纏わりつき解放されません(泪)

    あまり真面目にやっている感じのしない「Go West」はあまり好きにはなれなかったけれど、他の楽曲がどれも優れているのでこの点数。それにしても、このピコピコサウンドからは、彼らのファーストアルバムのような「クールさ」が微塵も感じられないなあ。べつにいいのだけれど。
