Wow I am really surprised no-one has reviewed this album yet.
Where do I start? Well its a double CD set the 1st Disc is called Pop and the 2nd Disc is called art. Ingenius isn't it!!!
O.K seriously the 1st Disc starts of with Go West which for you who didnt realise is actually a cover of a Village People song. Listening to all the tracks on here actually brings back some happy memorys of my teenage years (At the time of writing currently in my early 30's) so its a good old trip down memory lane. My favourite track on the 1st disc is What Have I Done To Deserve this where the Boys duet with the one and only Dusty Springfield. Other hi-lights include It's A Sin (reportedly an ode to Neil Tennants days at a Catholic school) , Heart , Domino Dancing and Where The Streets Have No Name (A U2 cover I believe). The 2nd Disc kicks of with Left To My Own Devices which i think is my favourite Pet Shop Boys track ever. Other outstanding tracks on here are West End Girls , Rent and Jealousy. Overall I prefer the 1st disc as the tracks are more poppy, the 2nd disc tends to have the more arty and serious tracks.
