Additional information
This Limited Edition of BEHAVIOR is packaged in a custom slipcase with a 36-page booklet, and contains a bonus disc of rare tracks. Pet Shop Boys: Neil Tennant (vocals); Chris Lowe (keyboards, programming). Additional personnel: Johnny Marr. Producers: Harold Faltermeyer, Julian Mendelsohn, Brothers In Rhythm, Pet Shop Boys. Reissue producers: Pet Shop Boys, Chris Heath. Engineers include: Paul Wright, Pete Schwier, Brian Reeves. Includes liner notes by Chris Heath. Digitally remastered by Tim Young (Metropolis Mastering, London, England). Behavior was a retreat from the deep dance textures of Introspective, as it picked up on the carefully constructed pop of Actually. In fact, Behavior functions as the Pet Shop Boys' bid for mainstream credibility, as much of the album relies more on popcraft than rhythmic variations. Although its a subtle maneuver, it would have been rather disastrous if the results weren't so captivating. Tennant takes this approach seriously, singing the lyrics instead of speaking them. That doesn't necessarily give the album added emotional baggage -- all of the distance and detachment in the duo's music is not a hindrance, it's part of the concept -- but it does result in an ambitious and breathtaking pop album, which manages to include everything from the spiteful "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?" to the wistful "Being Boring." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Stereo Review (4/91) - Best Recording Of The Month - "A bold, ambitious album...the Pet Shop Boy's crowning achievement..it works it magic through compositional subtlety, lyrical eloquence, and thematic reach.." New York Times (Publisher) (11/4/90) - "Not since the Carpenters has a group so effectively juxtaposed a dispassionate voice with such upbeat, vacuum packed pop...it's best moments...are wistful reveries with a hypnotic pulse." New York Times (Publisher) (11/4/90) - "Not since the Carpenters has a group so effectively juxtaposed a dispassionate voice with such upbeat, vacuum packed pop...it's best moments...are wistful reveries with a hypnotic pulse." Pitchfork (Website) - "'Jealousy' goes furthest in a quasi-symphonic direction. Played on keyboards but booming like a massive orchestra, it's fraught with romantic angst like their earliest work, yet it suits their new phase of unfettered emotionality."
