Comments about CAPITOL Pet Shop Boys - Fundamental:
This is an amazing PSB album--probably in their top 3 along with Very and Actually. Trevor Horn's production is perfect for this group. In fact, this album sounds so good that its follow-up, Yes (with sterile, boring production by Xenomania) pales in comparison.
One thing that sets this album apart from other PSB releases is the darker music and lyrics. At times, the political edge falls flat. In fact, "I'm With Stupid" is rather dreadful and really brings the album down a notch, despite the fact that it was released as a single. Also, the opening track, "Psychological," is rather bland and boring... probably the least interesting opening track for a PSB album.
HOWEVER, the rest of the album is so good that it still manages to earn five stars. "Minimal" is a killer single with hints of New Order, and "Integral" sounds like Pink Floyd at a rave.
