'Suburbia' is a song by UK synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was remixed and released as the fourth single from the album Please in 1986 and became the band's second UK Top 10 hit, peaking at number 8.[1]
Overview[edit]
The song's primary inspiration is the 1984 Penelope Spheeris film Suburbia, and its depiction of violence and squalor in the suburbs of Los Angeles; in addition, the tension of the Brixton riots of 1981 and of 1985 hanging in recent memory led Neil Tennant of the duo to thinking about the boredom of suburbia and the underlying tension among disaffected youth that sparked off the riots at the least provocation.
The various versions of the song are punctuated by sounds of suburban violence, riots and smashing glass, as well as snarling dogs on the re-recorded single version (extended even further on the music video), which were derived from typical scenes in suburbia. The Please version of the song sounds very sparse in comparison. The version used for the video was the song that appeared on the PopArt compilation in 2003.
The video was directed by Eric Watson, and features footage of the duo in a Los Angeles suburb, as they happened to be there for that year's MTV Video Music Awards.
Likewise, be ready for when he returns back to normal mode as he will deal great damage that can heavily impact your whole party.Have 2 healers as well as someone who can restore statuses to normal. There are stun status effects that you, may want to rid off fast as it puts your party in a difficult position, especially if the healer gets stunned. The usual constant switch in and out of heroes from the reserve spots are as important as they can be and having 2 healers as well is the best way to go. The peculiarly annoying unique skill of this boss is when he puts his shield down in from of him which makes him harder to damage as he can also begin to heal himself.
The B-sides to the single were 'Jack the Lad' and 'Paninaro'. 'The Full Horror mix' of Suburbia and the Italian Mix of Paninaro, which appeared on the Suburbia 12', both also appeared on the Pet Shop Boys' album Disco, and were later collected on the 2001 2-disc re-release of 'Please'.
