Nightlife came at a time fans were worried Pet Shop Boys might stop recording new music. It had been three years since the last album (Bilingual), at the time the longest gap between albums, and over that time the duo had lost some of their fan base. Some fans who bothered to listen to Nightlife when it came out were disappointed, became disillusioned, and stopped listening to new Pet Shop Boys material; others, including a fairly large number of new fans, found the album to be a breath of fresh air. In any case, Nightlife bears very little resemblance to early Pet Shop Boys work. The modern dance music trends, new in Bilingual, were now the focus of Nightlife's sound; latin music influences from Bilingual were entirely absent. Nightlife also has arguably the darkest sound of any Pet Shop Boys album. That said, the album still went on to sell 1.2 million copies globally.
