"Being Boring" is my favorite song of all time, and honestly my pick for the absolute best, most heartbreaking, most important pop song ever written - so if the Pet Shop Boys wrote 9 more songs which were that good for this album, it'd probably be the most mind-blowing thing I'd ever listened to. They don't really manage to do that... but even then, what you get is another great Pet Shop Boys album, one that feels a lot more desolate than their previous works.
Seriously, though. "Being Boring". Greatest pop song ever written. Fight me on that. As someone who's queer, I think it's important to look back on our history and how we got here, and that song written so many years ago is still a haunting reminder as to why we should -never- give up fighting to be able to be who we are. One of those songs that never fails to make me cry.
If you've never listened to "Being Boring", do it. NOW.
TOP 3: "Being Boring" (duh), "My October Symphony", "So Hard"
