Customer Reviews
Best Divine Comedy album yet
The Divine Comedy on a bad day is still more inventive and thoroughly imagined than 98% of pop music. That said, Neil Hannon's penchant for comedic wordplay combined with his effortlessly melodic songwriting sometimes make for a tooth-breakingly sweet concoction. But this album cuts the sugar with a genuinely felt melancholy that flows through every song. This time around, Hannon's songs are built around characters rather than caricatures. The humor is more dry and understated. Hannon sounds, dare I say it, more grown up. It suits him. "The Complete Banker", "At the Indie Disco", "Assume the Perpendicular" and "I Like" are the miniature pop masterpieces that Hannon does better than anyone. "Can You Stand Upon One Leg" is the only track that wears out its welcome, but if I weren't playing the rest of the album so much, it would never bother me. His best effort yet, in my opinion. Why doesn't this guy sell more records? He's terrific.
Neil Hannon's excellent new record...
I have been a Divine Comedy fan since '98 and each subsequent release has better than the last. This new album is just full of life and love and exudes a joyful playfulness that even on first listen is evident. My favorite DC album up until now was "Absent Friends" from 2004... this album is on par with that one if not a little more accessible.
Love it...I just wish America realized how talented Mr. Hannon is so he could come a tour over here...
Brilliant record!
