Music reviews of Nightlife

Music Review: Nightlife
Rating: 3 Stars

Nightlife being Pet Shop Boys 11th album and their 7th of all new material was released 1999 and sold 1.2 million albums. Singles released from this album were "I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More", "New York City Boy" and "You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk". The booklet is filled with the members of Pet Shop Boys in wigs and they look totally strange. All the lyrics are included and we also have a list of whom plays what on the album. I agree with Allmusic that this a 3 star album and is not one of their best efforts so far. 3/5.

Description of Nightlife

Limited edition pressing of the hit pop/ dance duo's highly anticipated 1999 outing. 12 tracks, including the singles 'I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Anymore' & 'New York City Boy'. Comes packaged in a double gatefold slipcase with a 24 page booklet within a clear plastic slipcase cover. 1999 release.
The Pet Shop Boys' Nightlife saved 1999 from being a rather dormant year in techno-pop. Gliding through 12 tracks with a let-us-show-you-how-it's-done panache, these seasoned veterans transition from ballad to body-rocker with nary a hair out of place. Few can use a canned snare fill to full effect like the Pet Shop Boys do on this album, indicative of their impeccable choices in songcraft and matched only by their often deceptively flippant lyrical content. --Beth Massa
The reason dance-pop sustains greater longevity than wordless dance music is because dance-pop is about something. Albums released by the great ones--New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure, and, of course, the Pet Shop Boys--maintain their appeal throughout the years because the lyrical content is intelligent, clearly narrative, and forever relevant. With Nightlife, the Pet Shop Boys continue to write startlingly honest and lyrically pointed songs, despite 13 years of cultivating an image of vacant boredom and smug indifference. Likewise, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe need not follow trends to keep current. Nightlife is uniquely a Pet Shop Boys album and arguably the zenith of their career. Midtempo techno tracks build out from a disco sensibility. Body-rocking rhythms are softened with sorrowful swells of strings, synthesized vocal choruses, and Tennant's sandy, monotone recite-singing. Conversely, the Boys augment the album's ballads with fat blips of bass line and elusive back beats. Lyrics are as innuendo laden as ever, although this time out (ahem) the veil is thinner than ever. Think the Pet Shop Boys' records will ever get stale? Oh, please. --Beth Massa
