Advantages: Superb return to form, sublime production and insightful lyrics Disadvantages: Poltically may alienate some, not bleeding edge
Fundamental by the PetShopBoys was released in May 2006 and is probably their most overtly political album yet. The title itself sets out their outlook and almost certainly refers to fundamentalism, particularly in the American approach to world management.
It is also a return to form after a couple of somewhat lacklustre albums but sadly didn't quite set the charts alight on release. Although it peaked in the UK album charts at number 5, it wasn't around too long and the singles didn't make a huge dent apart from the first one, "I'm With Stupid"
Sound wise, the welcome return of producer Trevor Horn has a slightly retro effect and it sounds in many ways like their first couple of albums but with a sheen that shows how their craft has developed over the years plus of course the sort of orchestral additions that Trevor Horn is ...
Advantages: The Boys Are Back In Town Disadvantages: Couple of weak tracks but still an overall thumbs up from me
a song,/About boys and girls,/You hear it/Playing all over the world...?
I mean, come on: We?ve had ?Roll Over, Beethoven? ? we?ve had ?Rock Me, Amadeus? ? who says we are not now due for some sweet Nutcracker with the disco pips?
Track three is Beautiful People, something of an obsession I think for this pop duo.
?Now I can see myself/Without a care in the world/
It's a sun shining, money-spending/Green and healthy new world
Is it only a fantasy/Or could it be reality?
I wanna/Live like beautiful people/
Give like beautiful people/with like beautiful people around?
This wistful, orchestrated song sounds as though it could be an album track from a Dusty Springfield album of the mid-60s ? not that it?s old fashioned, but it is period.
A nice track, that slightly haunting and yearning feel that a lot of the PetShop ...

Hey, Headmaster
This song was written by Neil several years before he even met chris and the petshopboys had formed. He remembered the lyrics one day and Pete Gleadall (their producer) brought in a background melody. This is another quite slow song, in contrast to many of the songs on Very.
Shameless
Shameless is a very upbeat, high energy and quite camp song, its another one the boys always seem to do well live, particularly in their nightlife tour. According to the boys, its autobiographical, applying to the band themselves, around the time when it was written (early 90s) according to neil, music had gone shameless to the extent that artists had no shame in how to perform and what to do, they would do absolutely anything for fame. It certainly ...
