Disco de The Divine Comedy: “Fanfare for the Comic Muse”

like most people, i bought my copy from 'an auction site' for about 30-40 pounds. and even though it only has 7 tracks i dont regret buying it. its not so different from other early the divine comedy stuff. neil himself doesnt like it so much but i do and thats enough for me. only 4 stars because of the price/length ratio. other than that, not bad at all. favourite line: "i hate unhappy endings, and there doesnt have to be one" (sounds better when neils shouts it).

This is the first Divine Comedy album, even prior to "Liberation". It's a bad album, with nothing similar to the Divine Comedy sound. The only thing recognizable is Neil Hannon's voice. If you're obsessed about The Divine Comedy and want to complete your collection, go ahead. If not, forget it!
