 BBC - Pop Review - Pet Shop Boys, Release
Pet Shop Boys rule and Release is a superb album.

Not everyone is attuned to the Pet Shop Boy's unique blend of electro-pop married with thoughtful lyrics: it doesn't fit the bill on the skateboard rink these days, but I stand by the superior quality of this album.

 Amazon.co.uk: Music: Release
Release is a real return to the form that went slightly iffy somewhere between Behaviour and Nightlife; it deserves to catapult Pet Shop Boys back to the top of the album charts for a very long time, though it probably won't.
This album is completely different from any of the earlier ones, abandoning electronics in 70 per cent of the songs, which does not mean that "Release" is their best album.
I have listened to some Promo tracks from Release, and it is a bit of a departure from their recent Nightlife album.

With the title of "Disco", it more closely resembles the structure of their first "Disco" release than the jumbled mess that was their "Disco 2" album.

 Pet Shop Boys - Nightlife Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and news on the internet
After one listen to Pet Shop Boys new release Nightlife (love those one-word titles), I decided right away that this wasn't only their best album yet, but was also the best album this year by far.
The two albums, appropriately enough, could actually be bookends for the decade of the 90's itself.
For those who remember how weighty the subject matter and feel of their most critically acclaimed album to date, 1990's Behavior was, Nightlife will be seen as a welcome change.

 Amazon.co.uk: Release [Limited Edition]: Music
The Pet Shop Boys eighth studio album Release, though by no means the rock album they threatened, has certainly got enough guitar (courtesy of Johnny Marr) to raise a few snooty eyebrows among synth purists.
They wanted another album like Nightlife or Very, and it's true that nothing on Release really stands out as an anthemic song, but you should listen to it on its own terms.
As for Release, the album I'm supposed to be reviewing- most of it to me is painful listening.

 Pet Shop Boys: Nightlife - Release On Line review
For starters, the new album is much more traditional Pet Shop Boys sounding, more dance and pop music.
I found myself smiling almost the whole album through, and that’s always a sign of satisfaction, at least when it comes down to me. Maybe it’s because I was as overwhelmed by "Nightlife" as I was disappointed with "Bilingual".
These tracks are also, together with dancy "Radiophonic", the fast ones on the album and at the same time those who catch your attention the first you hear it.

Disco 3 leaves room for old-school pop leanings, electro-clash tracks (?Time One My Hands?), their newly refined dance culture tracks and then the album wraps up with an amazing piano ballad of ?London?, a track to show that Neil Tennant still has the ability to write amazing music.
It was a remix project of their ever-popular album Please.
