Electric
2013
x2
After a couple of okay but not totally remarkable albums that ended their longtime stint on the EMI label, perhaps the Pet Shop Boys figured that by starting their own label for releases they needed to make a massive mark out of the gate. Did they ever: Electric was easily their best album in a couple of decades front to back, embracing early eighties underground disco inspirations and more to create a nonstop sweep of new classics, including the cool focus of “Flourescent,” another typically funny and smart lovelorn number with “Love is a Bourgeois Construct” and a shockingly powerful cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Last To Die.”
