for the b-sides are very successful: the Bee Gees cover "i started a joke" with a fantastic instrumentation and the clear voice of Neil generated with me goosebumps. a really great song and a great memory of Robin Gibb.
"The Way Through the Woods" is not ohwurm, but a fine song that you can enjoy at home cozy couch on.
My favorite is but the grandiose "A Certain je ne sais qoui". enough for a few seconds and you know: these are the Pet Shop Boys! a classic PSB song with a danceable rhythm, catchy chorus, horny instrumental parts and the hammer-voice neil- hit!
Review in detail:
Winner 2.5 / 5
A Certain je ne sais quoi 5/5
the way through the woods 3.5 / 5
i started a joke 5/5
Conclusion: more a mini-EP as a maxi CD whose purchase for true fans is a must anyway, there will be other than "winner" none of the songs on the new album. and Pet Shop Boys-interested is worth buying because of the successful b-sides that show the whole musical spectrum of Neil and Chris.
