Those whose minds are fixed on yesterday (read: the '80s) may forever associate the slyly intellectual pop duo Pet Shop Boys with now-cliche electronic dance flavors. Any expectation of nostalgia for such an approach on RELEASE is bound to be met with more than a little surprise. While there are sophisticated, percolating dance beats to be found in "The Samurai in Autumn" and some mildly danceable rhythm loops are heard elsewhere, this is an extremely organic album that occasionally verges on (dare it be said?) rock, or at least pop-rock. The cinematic, piano-driven torch song-in-denial "I Get Along" could have been penned by a more enlightened Elton John. The throaty vocals and lush, orchestral pop accompaniment of "Birthday Boy" bear echoes of Spiritualized's "pop" opus LET IT COME DOWN. Thus, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe manage to retain the tone of their initial vision without falling prey to the creeping morass of '80s retro fever, and good for them.

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (5/23/02, p.82) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...[For] admirers of melodic craft and pointed poetry--even those stricken with synth-pop allergies..."

Q (4/02, p.119) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...The mood is reflective, the touchstones teary Oasis ballads, and the new 'proper band' architecture well-suits these touching, often funny songs..."

Mojo (Publisher) (April 2002, p.108) - "...A masterclass in delicately infected irony to the accompaniment of mild guitars....looming melancholy and not-quite-cheery disco by the pound..."
