For their 11th album the Pet Shop Boys recorded in the US with Kanye West's producer, Andrew Dawson, but the results don't sound radically different to the previous 10 albums, Chris Lowe's elegant synthscapes still underpinning Neil Tennant's sardonic, semi-spoken delivery. Highlights include the genuinely funny self-deprecation of Your Early Stuff and the barbed Ego Music, with Lady Gaga seemingly squarely in Tennant's sights. Cheesy recent single Winner, however, is just too brazen in its pitch to accompany slow-motion Olympics highlights packages,, and elsewhere they're on autopilot too often for this to be anything more than just another solid Pet Shop Boys album.
