In the beggining the album was so strong, I thought: "this might be my biggest rate in january". As the album developed itself, it appears is not as strong as I imagined. From the middle to the end, Hotspot has some good and mediocre musics, some of them are pretty forgettable. The best is really in the beggening. However, isn't a bad album. After all these years, Pet Shop Boys still has the gas to do a good album with good musics, and I believe there are more to come.
