Music reviews of Disco 3

Music Review: They really need to stop!
Rating: 1 Stars

I am a huge PSB fan. I have been since the "West End Girl" days and the various iterations that included such amazing music as "Being Boring," "We All Feel Better in the Dark," "Suburbia," "Can you Forgive Her," and "The Theatre." I have the previous Disco cds as well, but. The Pet Shop Boys need to stop. Disco 3 is NOT their best work. It is close to the worst.

Disco 3 sounds like an exercise in "what can the computer do?" versus the well crafted, innovative, and thoughtful electronica that we have heard and loved for over two decades. I am disappointed that the boys have decided to stop making music that spoke to angst of growing up, finding and losing romance, fighting against the norm, and the anxieties of human development. Instead, here, they are playing around with cute computer noises without any sense of direction, scope or creativity.

It's boring pop with synthesizers run amock. The Pet Shop Boys never used to be boring and their popular music was always clever, creative and fun. Disco 3 has little to none of that. "If Looks Could Kill," and "Married Man" are reminiscent of PSB of days gone by, but they too are a mere shadow of the music that really made them famous.

All good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, this type of music from such an innovative duo seems like their end. That would be tragic. If you notastalgic and are a fan of PSB and feel they can do no wrong, you may enjoy most of the songs here. If you, like me, want each new work to be a bit better than the last, break new ground, or develop new and expanded talent, then Disco 3 will be an utter disappointment.

Description of Disco 3

Just as the first Disco was a companion record to 1986's Please, and Disco 2 followed 1994's Very, Pet Shop Boys' Disco 3 is meant to be an extension of the sound and feel of 2002's Release. This time around, the Boys have given the record a kitchen-sink personality all its own that also includes lots of brand-new, electro-oriented material. "Time on My Hands" starts the record with a Miss Kittin-esque edge, culminating in the coy and completely irresistible "Try It (I'm in Love with a Married Man)." Midway through, the record turns into a straight club mix infusing versions of "Sexy Northerner," "Home and Dry," and "Here" with heavy thumps and distorted embellishments. Neil Tennant's delicate piano version of "London" even provides a straight ballad for a pretty but incongruous coda. While Pet Shop Boys definitely know their way around a remix, the new material stands out, making one wish they'd kept going in what is obviously a fertile creative direction for their graceful and intelligent dance music. --Matthew Cooke
