With more then 50 million worldwide record sales since 1986, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have carried their English, electronic dance music duo through over two decades of success.  This success continues to their latest album, Yes, which has everything fans have grown to love.  It is filled with innovative artistry and has an excellent commercial appeal that makes “Yes” full of potential hits.  Chris Lowe also returns in this album, which is something that the PSB have been missing.

Whether you are a PSB fan from way back, or are just getting into their music now, they are a very eclectic duo, with a huge amount of insight into the music industry.  With tracks like the cool throbbing Love Etc sharply directed at the socialite crowd, to the ballad Beautiful People there is surely something in this album for a wide variety of music lovers.

In the usual PSB tone that you would expect are the sneaky hidden undertones and covert social comments that the fans expect.  The great thing about the Pet Shop Boys is there way of conveying their messages in such a way as to be equally as pleasing to both liberal and conservative listeners.  Like in Building a Wall where it refers to not so much to keep you out/more to keep me in this could convey a message of immigration or one of intimacy or can just make for nice listening for those who aren’t looking for anything more.

My absolute favorite track from this album however is the track ”Pandemonium” it is an incredible mix of disco, that is so primal that it takes you that head banger place.   

The new PSB CD is concentrated with everything there is to enjoy about the duo.  It is danceable everyday pop mixed with warmth and irony.  “Yes” is a must have for any PSB fan.
