With more then 50 million worldwide record sales since 1986, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have carried their English, electronic dance music duo through over two decades of success. This success continues to their latest album, Yes, which has everything fans have grown to love. It is filled with innovative artistry and has an excellent commercial appeal that makes "Yes" full of potential hits. Chris Lowe also returns in this album, which is something that the PSB have been missing.
Whether you are a long time fan of the PSB or this is the first album you have decided to try, you will be able to notice the large amount of insight into the music industry that this duo posses. With tracks like cool dance "Love Etc" directed to the socialite crowd, to the ballad "Beautiful People" there is something for all types of music lovers.
In the usual PSB tone that you would expect are the sneaky hidden undertones and covert social comments that the fans expect. The great thing about the Pet Shop Boys is there way of conveying their messages in such a way as to be equally as pleasing to both liberal and conservative listeners. Like in Building a Wall where it refers to not so much to keep you out/more to keep me in this could convey a message of immigration or one of intimacy or can just make for nice listening for those who aren't looking for anything more.
"Pandemonium" is one of my favorite tracks on the album. It is an incredible mix of disco that has a primal feel and takes you back to the head banger days.
Yes is super concentrated with everything there is to enjoy about PSB. It is danceable, yet everyday pop, with a combination of warmth and irony that makes Yes a must have for any Pet Shop Boys fan or anyone who enjoys good pop music.
