Something for more than the weekend

Wow, this is the best Divine comedy album since casanova. There is gems in every album they have done, but this album is full of them. Complete banker is superb, bang goes the knighthood is just a wonderful song should have been longer. This is a gem of an album and worth listerning to over and over again.

FANTASTIC!!!

This album just makes me smile from ear to ear. No other artist mixes whimsy and heart ache so effortlessly.
Full of finely observed humour and great tune, this realy has to be one of The Divine Comedy's best releases.
And the 4 bonus tracks at the end show a side of The Divine Comedy we have rarely seen before.

By turns beautiful, funny, witty, romantic, soaring, emotional.

Glorious.
