HMV Review

Whilst still very firmly ensconced within a classic pop structure, Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant's latest recording can be seen as representing a whole new development in Pet Shop Boys' stylistic range. Reflecting a more 'back to basics approach', 'Release' - the duo's first full-length release in approximately three years - features a simpler stripped down sound that focusses more on melody and lyrics rather than the big dance-based sound of old. Gone are the trademark electronic beats, pointy hats and dry, smartass lyrics - in are guitar-led melodies (courtesy of ex-Smiths and long-time PSB collaborator Johnny Marr) and some truly brilliant songwriting. Includes the single 'Home And Dry'.

    真夏の夕闇、初夏の黄昏時のような爽やかな涼やかさを感じさせる逸品。氷砂糖のようにひんやりと心地よいﾆｰﾙのﾎﾞｰｶﾙとｴﾚｸﾄﾘｯｸでありつつもｵｰｶﾞﾆｯｸさをたたえた名曲群。きいてみて！

    I can not say anymore good things about this album. From the hauntingly beautiful lyrics of Home ＆ Dry to the bittersweet closing You Choose, everything in between is about life’s love ＆ lost. What a great way to spend 45 minutes with the Boys.
