Can't believe, most people here gave up on PSB after 1993. So the last 12 years have been of no joy. Poor Neil and Chris. Now why should we wait for this new album? Nobody would care anyway...

They haven't released a whole lot since 1993. Nightlife has an excellent first half, but that Kylie Minogue duet song is really, really lame. Bilingual is kind of strange, although a few songs like "Red Letter Day," "Saturday Night forever," "Before," and "Metamorphosis" are rather good. Bilingual, as a whole, is very inconsistant; it starts off good, goes bland, and then redeems itself on most of the second half of the tape. Release was just dull, but the new singles off PopArt were ace, so I hope that they continue doing more dance tracks like that.
I picked NIGHTLIFE because, as a whole, this album has the best production and the best overall package. I've always seen that one as a concept album that you needed to listen to at night, when you feel lonely... and I think that's exactly what it was meant to be. For Your Own Good, Vampires and Boy Strange create fantastic atmospheres...
Also, in my mind, it's associated with one of the best live shows I've seen (the Nightlife Tour).
After that, I'd choose Very and... Release. I've never quite understood why Release was so much spit at. Because there are no dance tracks on it? Not much synthesizers? I'd wage on that. Still, it is most probably the most underestimated PSB album of them all. It has fantastic tracks on it, such as Birthday Boy and Love is a Catastrophe. Also, Home and Dry is surely a classic PSB single...
I'm happy they try different things, because that makes them interesting artists. This is why, even though I've never really been fond of the "Bilingual" album, that I didn't blame them for it.
Looking forward the new album, and hopefully a tour !

Apart from New York City boy there's not one song off Nightlife that I don't like and Bilingual has some great stuff on it - Discoteca, Single, Electricity, , It always comes as a surprise and The Survivors are brilliant

Agreed. That version of Young Offender they did was awesome
