The Greatest Music
Behaviour
The 560th greatest album of all time
Behaviour is Pet Shop Boys' 1990 album that takes a more melancholic and introspective approach to synth-pop, blending warm analog synth textures, restrained electronic rhythms and hints of deep house influence into lush, atmospheric arrangements. The songwriting focuses on reflective, mature themes delivered in Neil Tennant's detached vocal style, and the production favors subtle, sophisticated soundscapes rather than overtly upbeat pop, giving the record a contemplative, club-adjacent mood.
