And #26 on year's end list by The Quietus.

Re: Electric between best albums of the year
Popular music site IDOLATOR.com has also named "Electric" one of the Top 10 albums of the year!
There was a legendary electronic duo from Europe who truly delivered in 2013, but we’re not talking about Daft Punk. In fact, it’s a rare feat when a band 28 years into their career can put forth an album as full of exciting pop and energetic thumping as Electric, yet that’s exactly what Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe — better known as the Pet Shop Boys — did.
The PSBs themselves seemed caught off guard when their nine-track disco ride garnered the best reviews of their career over the summer. It’s really no mystery why that was the case, though. Cuts like “Inside A Dream,” “Thursday,” “Love Is A Bourgeois Construct” and “Vocal” signaled Tennant and Lowe’s return to their handclap-laden, bell-chiming, dancefloor roots, and in turn their efforts were rewarded with accolades and chart success not seen since their 1993 masterpiece Very. Welcome back to the club, Boys. — ROBBIE DAW

That's authentically cool. I think Idolator is part of Gawker Media, but that doesn't matter. This time of year, every site's doing their "Best of the Year" stuff. I've been doing my best to promote Electric in comments elsewhere, like AV Club. Happy to see at least a few people agreed. Thing is, I think, a lot of reputable sites tend to have a rockist bent (Haim!) and.. I really don't read electronic music sites so much. None, actually. I'd like to see Electric get the proper recognition it deserves from well-known places, not obscure ones. (Not saying Idolator is obscure.) Ah well. Would love to see the album on Rolling Stone's year-end list, but not holding my breath about that. As if that rag mattered anyway.

A truly well deserved spot and a truly deserved higher position than Daft Punk album.

Several writers chose either Electric or Love is a bourgeoise construct.

Re: Electric between best albums of the year
I don't understand why Popart is the second worst album of the year and also the best album of the year.
