I'm so surprised to see people not loving this album! Pet Shop Boys are probably my favorite band of all time, but I judge them really harshly with each album. To me, Super is the best album they've put out since Very. I think Nightlife and Fundamental were great, but I was less enthused about Yes, Elysium and Bilingul. The only (minor) weak spot on the album for me is Groovy, which would've made a great b-side. I would've swapped it out for One Hit Wonder. But songs like Twenty Something, The Dictator Decided and Burn are among the best they've ever done.
