Re: Rating: "Electric"

most people say it is good, i sat there cringing through bolshy thinking what were they thinking.... I'm doing this for Vocal. Most people say it is good, but I'm doing what were you thinking, cringing through Vocal and just shaking my head at it. Yes Vocal for me is a 1-2/10 at most. It's not as b...

Re: Electric advertising in the strangest of places.

they are targetting their ads to people more likely to be interested in PSB based on their demographics and browsing preferences This is true. But their advertising algorithms must be really out there to think a pledge music project for Alex Lloyd (nothing like the PSB at all) is in anyway related ...

Re: Love is a bourgeois construct

To me Love is a bourgeois construct is the best track of the album by far. Amazing in every way. How Vocal became a single and not this straight up is beyond me. Vocal has nothing on this track. I think this track more then any other on Electric sums up what the PSB is. Great beat, over the top almo...

Re: Electric is Number 1 in the UK midweeks

Since Jay-Z is sill leading this chart, I can't see PSB staying ahead of him now. Everyone buy a copy for your grandmothers now :wink: When Jay-Z is pushing 60 will he he still topping the charts? No. Will the PSB . . . wait they are pushing 60 and in the charts with new material (not just rehashed...

Re: Limited edition Electric vinyl coming from Vinyl Factory

No way! Vinyl Factory is known to send out the packages in random order! So you can't be sure to get a copy from the first batch. Guess we have to take, what we get and I really hope the packages will arrive save for everyone! That's not cool. At that price you should know your number once your ord...

Re: Rating: "Fluorescent"

An easy 5/10 for me. Rather bland track in my opinion. Nothing there to spark my interest. A nice track, just not my favourite thing.

Re: Rating: "The last to die"

This is my second favourite track on the album. I rated it 9/10. 9 does not mean I hate it. I love it. It's just not a 10/10 like Love is a bourgeois construct is for me. For me this song Last To Die is defo single potential. I love it.

Re: My Review of Electric

The Electric review topic you were looking for is here: http://www.petshopboys-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28454 A very nice review of the album. I can't say I agree with it all personally. But that's ok. Nothing wrong. Just different people like different tracks from the album. For me. My fav...

Re: Rating: "Electric"

So does that mean Vocal has been released and failed to hit the top 40? I would say not yet released. As it's release dates are (Vocal Remix CD): iTunes: 28th July Official Site - 29th July So I guess that is the reason. That is probably the single. I hope there's a 2nd disc with b-sides or somethi...

Just out of interest, was a single released? According to the people who do the PSB's facebook feed: "If you’ve heard all the buzz about Electric and want a taster of Pet Shop Boys new album then check out this VEVO playlist - http://tinyurl.com/nebr4dk It features all the tracks including the...

Re: Limited edition Electric vinyl coming from Vinyl Factory

I'd expect each track to be at the most pinpoint of quality, with a whole side to themselves rather than share with something. That's what I'm thinking. Was the Yes box at 45 RPM? Also, was the Yes box mastered better than the CD? I think the CD is compressed and too loud. I don't own the Yes box. ...
