The six hundred and seventy-third album: #673 Pet Shop Boys - Behaviour
While I've obviously enjoyed the Pet Shop Boys' synth pop output, Behaviour feels more melancholic than I usually get from them. While the dance pop feeling is there, it's slower and more thoughtful, lyrically engaging in a way I wouldn't normally expect from them. There's meaning in their lyrics otherwise, but here it takes thaat on far more than when they write more upbeat dance tracks. It works, though, the introspective nature creating that much more introspection.
