Pet Shop Boys failed to do a good "Very" follow up...

Review Score: (6/10)
I am a big fan of the boys, but Bilingual is far away from what I was waiting for. I did not like the latin rhythms included in some songs ("Discoteca", "It Always Comes As A Surprise", "Single") even if the melody are good. However, "Se A Vida É" is the best song of the album. The complete album is not homogenic, so we go through a style into another. It's very confusing. Some songs here might have been better as B-sides ("Electricity" is kind of experimental), as some others are totally boring (which is rare for the boys, but "Saturday Night Forever" is just not a good song, and "To step aside" is annoying with those pilgrims singing...). Check out for the single versions of "A Red Letter Day" and "Single-Bilingual": they are far better on the singles than on the album. So, finally, 3 stars...
