"The Boys still know how to party, but Super leaves one craving substance."
With 2013's Electric set going fully electronic, Chris Lowe completed his journey to becoming a one-man, one-finger maestro.
Directed from the sidelines by producer Stuart Price, and Neil Tennant his faithful Master Of Ceremonies, it is an absolutely fabulous rejuvenation. With Price back again, Super continues the hedonistic, sweaty nightlife, relentlessly refusing to rest for one minute, riffing on trance (noticeably Age Of Love on Inner Sanctum) and employing Canal St cliches on Burn. We get it — the Boys still know how to party, but Super leaves one craving substance. Perhaps Superficial would have been a more appropriate title.
