i feel like this album is extremely underrated to this day, which is odd to me. i guess it somehow makes sense: it dropped in 1993, after what was perceived to be their imperial era, after Discography, and it doesn't really have a single one of the hits that non-PSB fans would recognize. But it's so great. even in a year as great as 1993 it stands out.

I don't agree! "Go West" is their biggest UK hit of the 1990s and it's more recognized in the States than the original Village People version. Ifa anything, rockcrit, mostly comprised of straight white guys, is so beholden to "maturity" as a theme that they hone in on Behaviour, Very and maaaayyybe Actually (in a distant third). I like them best when the Boys were sleazy a la "Two Divided by Zero" and "Opportunities.

i think i agree with you on that re: the rockcrits but i think general public-wise at least in the U.S. it's not as familiar...not saying it wasn't known at all, i just think it's slightly off their peak era and slightly out of time a bit in that regard.
Opportunities is probably the PSB song i think about the most though, i love it.

five years pass...
The Man Who Has Everything is one of their best ever bangers. Man the *thrill* of getting 18 new PSB songs at once back in 1993, well 19 if you count 'Post Script'.
Nice to see ILX liked Young Offender better than some of the singles; it was always one of their great bits of buried treasure.

Huh I also thought Relentless was a remix album. And none of the songs are on Alternative or Format. Well, away I go to listen
