I don't understand the aversion even many (former) Pet Shop Boys fans feel towards this album. "Elysium" has its right to exist and is just another fantastic album by the guys.

Can't say it's bad... but somehow "Loneliness" would be a better name for this album... just my feeling. My favorite song: Leaving!

Having heard this album, it's not bad but it's not top-notch P.S.B.. The sounds and vocal effects, keyboard sounds etc.. used on this album sound a lot like the group New Musik during the "Anywhere" album [era.] It's nothing new to these ears, though. "Elysium" doesn't sound like "Behaviour" despite the comparisons, it recalls "Release" a little (to me). Here their music sounds like a cross between the stuff on PSB's "Actually", their Italo-disco beginnings (to some extent) and New Musik, with bits of "Release" thrown in. It would be interesting to see where they go from here musically on their next album, since each record they publish is distinct from the last and a reaction to that vibe; in P.S.B.'s words.
