Those dance elements are still on display here, but there's a much more mature feel to Harold Faltermeyer's production.\nThe songs themselves have moved on from neediness and seediness to far more adult themes; opening tracks \"Being Boring\" and \"This Must Be the Place I Waited Years To Leave\", with their lyrics of reminiscence, fond and otherwise, set the tone for the next 50 minutes. There are gently melodic songs of betrayal-\"To Face The Truth\", \"Only The Wind\"--and more upbeat variations on the same theme in \"So Hard\" and the string-laden \"Jealousy\" and a touching tale of first attraction in \"Nervously\". The album's only real downer comes in the pompous shape of \"My October Symphony\", a wincingly pretentious thing which suggests the band have fallen prey to the kind of po-faced muso nonsense they poke fun at in \"How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously\".\nBehaviour is possibly the best album for fans of Neil and Chris' more circumspect outpourings; what it lacks in upbeat anthems and disco production it more than makes up for in intelligent, introspective song writing. And with a bonus CD of 12 remixes and B-sides, it's a must-have for anyone who likes their pop meticulously crafted and shrewdly lyrical. --Rikki Price\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 724353051327\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0724353051327\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47737139167491,"sku":"3Y-67UT-WPES","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/61O2cXG-f_L.jpg?v=1770947434","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/behavior-1","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
