Here's the ubiquitous "Best Of..." If you didn't want to risk downloading a Divine Comedy album
from earlier in the series then this one should give you a broad glimpse into their sound.
Standout Track/s (if any):
All of 'em... It's a "best of" after all

Review / Notes (if any):
For those who want lyrical bones to chew on, there's no denying Neil Hannon's sly appeal. To
dismiss him as "baroque" would be as misleading as pegging him as the missing link between Noel
Coward, Anthony Newley, and Scott Walker. But Hannon's highly evolved song constructions,
grandiose orchestral pretensions, and baritone crooning seem as much quaint classicism as a
bicycle built for two
