Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

1990
Parlophone

The Pet Shop Boys’ fourth album was their first after their remarkable string of US hits in particular had slowed, but in notable ways Behaviour was their strongest full-length yet, showing the group carefully refocusing for a longer haul while remaining themselves. The heartfelt, crushing “Being Boring,” an ode to a friend of Neil Tennant lost to the AIDS crisis, made for a powerful opener, but in both its slower, quieter moments and its monumental ones like “So Hard” and “Jealousy,” their skill at electronic pop, ballads and dancefloor crushers remained unparalleled.
