Our Take

Ah, DIVINE COMEDY's "Fin De Siecle," what a delightful romp through the whimsical and wacky world of Neil Hannon. From the moment the album kicks off with the jaunty and theatrical "Generation Sex," you know you're in for a wild ride. Hannon's clever lyrics and intricate songwriting shine through on tracks like "The Certainty of Chance" and "National Express," blending witty observations with catchy melodies that will have you singing along in no time.

The orchestral arrangements on "Fin De Siecle" are nothing short of breathtaking, adding a touch of grandeur to Hannon's already extravagant sound. The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal harmonizing perfectly to create a lush sonic tapestry that envelops the listener. From the soaring strings to the tinkling pianos, every detail is meticulously crafted to perfection.

But what truly sets "Fin De Siecle" apart is Hannon's unique and playful approach to storytelling. Whether he's crooning about the trials and tribulations of love or poking fun at the absurdities of modern life, his lyrical wit and charm never fail to captivate. It's this combination of humour, intelligence, and musical prowess that makes DIVINE COMEDY a true standout in the world of British pop.

So, if you're in the mood for a bit of cheeky fun and a whole lot of musical genius, look no further than "Fin De Siecle." This album is a delight from start to finish, guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Divine, indeed.
