Editorial Reviews

‘Elysium’, originally released in 2012, was seen by some as a shift in sound and direction for Pet Shop Boys. Writing for the album began whilst PSB were on tour with Take That, with some tracks dating as far back as 2008.
The album was co-produced by PSB with Andrew Dawson, who engineered much of Kanye West’s album ‘808s & Heartbreaks’, a record which Neil Tennant had become ‘mildly obsessed’ with at the time. The darker lyrical themes of ‘Elysium’ are reflected in the record’s sound. Neil Tennant said: ‘It is deep in terms of the sound—got a lot of sub-bass—it's sort of deep in terms of subject matter, the way it's expressed. But I think it's the Pet Shop Boys' most beautiful album.’ The ‘Further listening’ album of additional material alongside this ‘Elysium’ reissue features previously unreleased demos entitled ‘Vocal’, ‘She pops’ and ‘In slow motion’, as well as PSB mixes and remixes of ‘Leaving’ and ‘Memory of the future’. Full track-listing for the reissue of ‘Elysium’ below:

228. Elysium 2017: Pure PSB bliss
If only all reissues were just as flawless and essential as the PSB ones. Every release of theirs, regular or reissue, regardless of format, from the very beginning in the mid '80s right up to today, it is worth having. Pet Shop Boys guarantee. Always offering something extra, always putting out something special, every single and album release is a unique item, some more than others but all precious in their own way. The 2001 "Further listening" reissues of their first 6 studio albums were exemplary. 16 years later, and following the 3 recent reissues in August, the last 2 albums in the series are receiving the reissue treatment, part of the PSB remastered and extended catalogue that is expected to be eventually released as a box set once the series has been completed (it now has). All the B-Sides, extra tracks, remixes, fully remastered, accompanied by a 32-page info-packed and lavish booklet with tons of additional photos and other goodies, all neatly and stylishly designed and packaged, these are the absolute top reissues in recent years. Immaculate in every aspect, from the font lettering to the thickness of the paper used, they are nothing less than essential, and are worth every penny (they are even very reasonably priced)! Those who missed on the first 6 2001 reissues the first time around need not to worry, as these too are soon going to be rereleased as remastered packages. "Elysium" is presented as a 2CD thin double case slipcover.**** for the album***** for this edition

4.0 out of 5 stars PSB Best Writing, Deeply Personal Songs
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2017
Verified Purchase
This has some of the best writing from the PSB. It's not my favorite album from them, in fact it is probably my least favorite, but there are still some good songs.

The album is highly evocative. It is a deep thinkers album as they meticulously string together concepts and ideas that flow together naturally with soft harmonies. Leaving is a haunting song that speaks to me personally with lyrics like 'The dead don't go away, they're with us everyday' and something about the context they provide. Neil's parents both died between this album and Yes and so it's a very personal and heartfelt 11 track masterpiece.

The booklet explains their process of making a more simple album with Andrew Dawson after the full pop album Yes in 2009. Several spngs they thoughy of or worked on were synth pop, but they didn't want to do go that route yet again, so they saved them for the next year's Electric.

The 13 track Further Listening 2011-2012 disc gives several bangers with great synth remixes of Leaving, B sides like the fun pop Hell, and demos like In His Imagination, which is a total dance hit. You'll also get an early version of Vocal as the first track, which of course was saved for 2013's Electric.

I'm more of a Super (2016), Yes (2009), Very (1993), and Introspective (1989) fan of The Pet Shop Boys. But I do appreciate the soft simplicity of albums like Behaviour (1990), Released (2002), and this one Elysium (2012).

I know their last two albums are so recent, but I can't wait for them to be released in this remastered way with an informative commentary booklet and Further Listening discs!

Long live the Kings of lyric and highly danceable music, The Pet Shop Boys!

3.0 out of 5 stars Better Than I Remember
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2018
Verified Purchase
With the rereleases of all of the Pet Shop Boys albums on Vinyl, I've found myself changing my mind on some of my initial thoughts. When Elysium first came out, I quickly chalked it up to mostly fillers and gave it only a few listens. But since it's rerelease, I've changed my mind for the most part. Some of it are, technically, bad songs with embarrassing lyrics, but the songs that work, really work. Leaving is melodic and instantly draws you in with its dark lyrics and heavenly background vocals. Easily one of their best songs since the 90's. Invisible and Winner are also good songs. The chorus in Winner is catchy and instantly puts you in a good mood. Your Early Stuff is one of those autobiographical songs the boys love doing but never quite resonate with me. Yes, we know you're talking about what fans and critics say about your music, but does it need to be documented? If the music in the track was better I could almost overlook its ridiculousness, but sadly, it isn't. A Face Like That was initially one that I didn't care for, but after a few recent listens, I really like it. Neil's voice and the foreboding intro are reminiscent of Some Speculation. Breathing Space, which rounds out side one of the vinyl edition, is a beautiful song with nice, poignant lyrics. Then, sadly, after a mostly spectacular side one, we get into side two, which fails on many levels. Ego Music could possibly be the worst song the Pet Shop Boys have recorded. I had it on once while making dinner and my boyfriend, who's only a fan when I force him to listen to them, but appreciates most of their music, craned his neck around and, with disgust and a curled lip, muttered "What the &$*@ Is This?" It's really bad. Give It a Go is not much better, and Everything Means Something is typical drivel that you expect from some of the boys more recent releases. Hold On is actually not bad with it's Broadway rooted vocals, but "not bad" isn't saying much for Side 2 of this otherwise good album. Memory of the Future is classic PSB, but nothing new for the duo. And finally, Requiem in Denim and Leopardskin has some really good moments. A lot has been said about the meaning of this song, being the last one of the last record they put out with their former record label. It was almost like a goodbye of sorts. For whatever it might mean, it's a catchy song with some thought-provoking lyrics.

So all in all, a good album. 8 out of 12 songs are much better than I remember. It's those other 4 that have just put a bad spin on my enjoyment of it over the past six years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente coleccion de temas de Pet Shop Boys acerca del album Elysium
Reviewed in Mexico on January 11, 2018
Verified Purchase
Este estupendo álbum marca el fin de Pet Shop Boys con la compañía Parlophone y resulta una combinación muy buena de electro-pop con la escritura de Neil Tennant y los arreglos excelentes de Chris Lowe. Destancan los tracks "Leaving", muy pegajoso, "Winner" con el tema olímpico de Londres 2012, "A face like that" bastante pop y la balada down-tempo "Memory of the future". El disco adicional de "Further listening" está muy recomendable ya que complementa el material con b-sides y demos de la época en que salió el disco y son bastante buenos como el álbum original. Me gustaron especialmente los temas "Inside (2017 Remastered Version)", "In His Imagination (2017 Remastered Version)" y "
Leaving (Freedom Remix) [2017 Remastered Version]"; ademas del cover clásico de los Be-Gees "I started a joke". Bastante disfrutable!!

I never understood why their later CDs sold less, as the quality of the duo has never really dipped. Chris Lowe's music and orchestration has always been one of the best in the business but it is a case of sometimes having the music too good for the audience. At least I appreciate it, even it is in subjective.
