Pet Shop Boys' Elysium (2012) received mixed reviews, praised for its mature, wistful lyricism, poignant reflections on aging, and sharp social commentary (especially on "Ego Music," "Your Early Stuff," and standout "Leaving"), but criticized for a generally slower pace, lack of classic dancefloor bangers, and inconsistent production, with many finding it a solid but not spectacular addition to their catalog, like a comfortable but slightly "flabby" listen compared to their iconic work.
