Editorial Reviews
CD Description
Reappraisal is always revealing, whether for good or bad. In the case of this album, the great revelation is the magnificent orchestration, even though it is created by synthesizers and keyboards. 'One More Chance' is blissfully symphonic and the favourite hits are still effective. The production is shared between Julian Mendelsohn, David Jacob, Shep Pettibone and Stephen Hague and is mixed to digital perfection. Ultimately this album succeeds in delivering 'pop' exactly as it should be.
Customer Reviews
Essential Classic!
In my opinion this is the Pet Shop Boys' best ever album. I bought it originally on vinyl and thought I had better purchase it on a newer format.
It contains the first song that got me into the Pet Shop Boys, 'It's a Sin', along with lots of other great tracks including 'Rent' and 'Heart'. Even the non-single tracks are brilliant.
I also took the opportunity to update my collection with CD versions of 'Please' and 'Introspective' at the same time. Delivery was swift, and including delivery the three CDs cost under £17 total!
I would recommend Amazon to anyone.
"Actully", a bit of good music
In particular I want to say that the Pet Shop Boys is one of my favorite groups. Perhaps this is why my ranking more positive.
But for those who are more or far away from this group, I'd say. They should not be seen too seriously, just listen to their music. However, what I would say in particular of their second album, "Actually". Can I just say, bravo. Of course, one of the best in me, their album will remain a "Behaviuor". But this album is also one of their pearls, having inside such hits as "It's asin", "What Have I Done to Deserve this?", "Rent" and the amazing song "Kings Cross". Just the music lovers who like good music and appreciates it, purchase this Excellent album to your collection. I think you will not regret that purchased this album. Thank you.
One of the finest pieces of music by the Pet Shop Boys
One could say that every song on this album is a classic in its own right - and it isn't an exaggeration. If there was one album from the Pet Shop Boys to absolutely have on your shelf, this would have to be it. This was my favorite way back in the 80's and it's still excellent music. Highly recommended!
