Pet Shop Boys: “I Get Along” (2002)
One may speculate that the title of Pet Shop Boys’ 2002 Release album is a reference to letting go of hipness for maturity.
Certainly their electronic disco pop sound–the one that made them seem like trend setters across the two previous decades–is muted here.
And the record’s lyrics generally reflect a more experienced, worldly point of view.
Where their previous album or two had seen them growing a bit stale, Release shows them reinventing themselves a bit for a new decade. And as it turns out, some of their best work was ahead of them.
