Most definitely! I'd say there's even a chance we get a visual treatment for All the young dudes as well.

Re: The fifth single

I say Adrenaline.

Schlager seems the obvious choice given the Christmas season but then why release Chris' demo on Feel single and not keep for its own single? They even released sort of a video for the demo, which was unusual too.

Re: Do you expect a fifth single (and probably last) from Nonetheless in December?

I was thinking that maybe the plan for 2025 is a third b-sides compilation. If that's the case, surely a setlist is already set, thus they need another single where to include the b-sides.

Re: Do you expect a fifth single (and probably last) from Nonetheless in December?

I was going to post the same. Surely the official accounts wouldn't tease a possible fifth single if there wasn't any planned?

I guess it'll be Adrenaline to promote the Expanded edition but anything is possible at this point.

Their best year in years!

Re: Do you expect a fifth single (and probably last) from Nonetheless in December?

"Adrenaline" is much hyped - I hope for everyone’s sake it lives up to expectation. We don’t know too much about “Adrenaline” except it vaguely reminds Neil of Chris Issak. I think people are eager to hear it because in the past PSB have left stunning tracks from the main album recording ...

Re: First album track = Single / First single?

PSB usually excel at choosing as opening number the track that best represents the soundscape and theme of the whole album. I like it that they don't always use the first single to open the album, as it's pretty much the norm in pop, but they're solid tracks anyway: Two divided by zero, One more ch...

Re: First album track = Single / First single?

Regarding Electric, we come back to the debate about what is a single. According to Smash, Axis wasn't a proper single, in which case Electric is a No/No or a sort-of/sort-of Btw I love posts like this. I have a couple of similar ones up my sleeve Maybe it wasn't the lead single, but it definitely ...

Re: Nonetheless Expanded Edition

Kind of would have wished for an alternate cover to diferentiate it from the main edition. I find it weird that they open the bonus disc with a cover, and that the demos start at track 5. It all feels very un-PSB. Or rather like it was meant to be a 3 discs set (1 original album, 2 demos and 3 bonus...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

Being boring is their defining moment. The single release signaled the end of their imperial phase, kicked them out of the pop world expectations... But it also marked the moment we're they could be taken seriously by most critics. They went from pop kids to legends. Without Being boring and without...

Now Schlager even has an official video with Neil & Chris in it. It just needs a proper cover artwork to count as a (promo) single :dance:

Re: New Single 'Feel'

Is this the first time a PSB demo gets a video? And directed by Chris himself! It's simple but you can tell he's having fun. I will say it again: the demo is far superior to the album version. Chris robotic voice singing in German just makes the message clearer, even if I can't understand what he's ...

Re: Pet Shop Boys - Reserve - the b-sides and bonus tracks 1985-2024

Love a b-sides compilation discussion. There’s definitely enough material for a new collection and I think we could realistically see this being the next big Parlophone PSB reissue focus. Rather than revisiting and revising Alternative and Format (after all, we know revisionism isn’t a very PSB thi...
