One of my favourite bands.
A really polished effort. So far my favorite is the airy and glamorous "Feel".
Anyone else checked it out?

This new album is quite a throwback to 80s and 90s sound.

Yeah, really enjoying this album, probably my favourite of theirs since Yes.
Wonderfully consistent duo they are, every album holds gems. Thank you Neil and Chris.

I listened on Friday on my drive home and was pleasantly surprised. For some reason I was a little apprehensive about this album. I’m just about to listen now for the second time. Loneliness is wonderful. I’ve been listening to that quite a bit since it was released.

I do love the sequence of Loneliness into Feel. If feels very organic. And now Why am I dancing. Christ I’ve missed them!

Neil is such a romantic god bless him. A new bohemia. He can be extremely melancholy in the best possible way.
Well, on second listen I loved it! It’s a really strong and consistent collection of tracks. I always feel Pet Shop Boys understand the dynamics of what a pop album should be. 10 consistent tracks sequenced in the most wonderful way.

There's a couple of duds on Nonetheless, but I think Love Is The Law is going in my top Pet Shop Boys songs. A great climax to the album. I just listened to the grey vinyl - a perfect pressing. Dead silent, no clicks or pops. Playing new a new LP always fill with me with trepidation. But this is terrific - at least my copy is anyway.

I honestly really like it in its entirety, but I’m biased I guess. Im tempted to order the vinyl. Have you seen this?

I watched the Imagine documentary yesterday on BBC iplayer. I could listen to Neil talk all day. Their story never gets old for me.

Will definitely see if I can download it at some point as I've heard great things.

Dude, I was sort of disappointed to learn that you copy and pasted your reply here from two separate posts on the Steve Hoffman forums from two different forum members. Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other peoples posts but I just felt a bit robbed! Why would you do it to dear Azza?! Why? Why, why, oooooh why. I’ve listened to this album a lot in the last five days so I need to have a break from it, but it’s a really lovely listen. No clicks or pops on Spotify!! Although I did get the deluxe CD which is about to be placed on the shelf ready for dust collecting.
