Pet Shop Boys - Bilingual
The album is what it says it is. Neil does sing some Spanish through out the album. I have to give him credit for singing in Spanish, not all singers would incorprate other languages into their words. I've said this before, but that's what makes Neil and Chris unique. I happen to like this album, and I got the cd as a late Christmas gift from Santa Clause. (yes I was/am old enough to still believe in Santa) Also, the music itself is inspired by Spanish, too, when you hear the music. I think it's very creative.
Pet Shop Boys - Behaviour Further Listening
This should be every fan's number album. It is in my book! This album pretty much stands for what PSB are in a lot of ways. I really enjoyed the fact that Neil played some guitar on the b-sides. He plays it on It Must Be Obvious. For me it says that they aren't just a keyboard duo, but they can really play insturments as well. Not that keyboards aren't insturments, but it's nothing like a drum kit, or a guitar (of any sort), nor a flute. I'm proud of them for learning how to play.
Pet Shop Boys - Release
I really like this album. It's a very laid back album. I also enjoyed seeing them just being themselves without wigs, nor dancers/singers in concert that is. I love the way he sings Birthday Boy, but I think any song he sings that low like that means that he's sick. That's exactly why he sung it like that. Being a Neil lover myself I happen to love it when he sings with that sexy voice of his. I think Chris said that somewhere, he admired Neil for going in the studio while being super sick with the flu. That's heart right there, not all singers I know would do that.
Pet Shop Boys - Very
My third favorite album by them. For me this album represents them in the 90's. I love One In A Million (even though they didn't write it either), this album has great songs to hear. I'm not to fond of the orange, but I don't care for the songs. I also love their cover of Go West originally done by The Village People. I love it but I have a friend and they don't like it. I think it's funny how much songs we all like and don't like on each album.
PS: forgive that stain you see on the carpet.

Pet Shop Boys - Montage
Possibly my least favorite show to put on dvd. I loved it live, but on dvd? No it's a big no, no for me. I know a lot of fans feel the same way, too. The way the production put this on dvd must've really liked bright, laser, lightening. Also when they used the effects on it, too, that didn't help out much either. Do what I do just turn it on, and don't stare at the screen while watching it.
Pet Shop Boys - Introspective Further Listening
Another further listening cd, but since this is an album of long songs, it's not one of my favorites. I do only like I'm Not Scared on it, because it's not a remix from a shorter song. That's just how I feel about long/remixed songs. I'll try not to sound so mean, but why is it that PSB has remixes of their own songs when they are dance/pop duo? I mean I see the no need for remixes of their songs. To me it makes no sense at all.
Edit: Their songs are bouncy enough, we don't need to be more bounced out. If we did bounce more our heads and boobs would fall out of ourselves.

Pet Shop Boys - Cubism
One of the less designeable shows, but the giant box provides the set looking cool. This was filmed in Mexico City with the stadium not even sold out, but glad they filmed there. I like this show, because it brought back Heart. I love that song is this show. This concert does come with a commentary. Partly why I love PSB more because on just about everything they have commentary of something. That's what makes them unique, but in the same way I kinda wish that other artists/bands would do the same.

Pet Shop Boys - Pandemonium
My second favorite concert, but never saw it in person. My only complaint about this is the first night they recorded this was the night they did Love Comes Quickly. I don't know why it's not an extra. So much like all the other shows, it's very creative and very colorful. The costume designer who did this is on the commentary, too. Oh yes this show has a commentary on it, too. I do like the mashup of Pandemonium with Can You Forgive Her? I love that it sounds so amazing.
