Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Behaviour is an album by Pet Shop Boys, released in 1990. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “So Hard”, on 5 lists with a best position of #16.
Behaviour, the fourth studio album from Pet Shop Boys, came out on Parlophone on 22 October 1990 (American copies spelled it Behavior), and it finds Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe easing off the dancefloor throttle. After the house-music detours of Introspective, the duo folded orchestral and acoustic textures in among the synthesizers on some of these tracks, and the result is synth-pop with a bruise on it: cool, rueful and grown-up, Tennant's voice as dry and watchful as ever over Lowe's keyboards. "So Hard" keeps the pulse up, while "Being Boring" drifts in wistful and unhurried. Japan got a special edition with a bonus mini CD, printed lyrics and a white, velvety box.
