I feel like I 'get' Divine Comedy but I don't enjoy them. National Express was a chirpy pop ditty, but the cheeky, wordy Britishness misses something for me. Maybe it needs a bit of the other side too - some kind of edge under the quaintness. Mark Smith did this 'wry observation' stuff much better. And The Fall's music was far more interesting. Close, but no cigar(ette)
