I have never heard of this band and had zero expectations. Unfortunately, it is one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

This came as a surprise. I never before heard of this band. Pleasing songs with a fantastic instrumentation—both the arrangements and the execution in collaboration with The Brunel Ensemble.

This is way too theatrical and orchestral, in a bad way. Maybe it's ironic? Anyway, it sounds pretentious and vain. And kinda boring.

This is a very appropriate album for Valentine’s Day, and it very much does what it says on the tin. Seven bitter sweet songs about love, with orchestral arrangements, clocking in at just over half an hour. This still has some of the quirkiness and humour of other songs by the Divine Comedy, especially the references to horses! If you were a horse I could ride you through the fields at dawn Through the day until the day was gone

I enjoyed this quite a bit and hadn't heard of them at all. I am chasing down their other stuff now.

It’s like a homage to Nick Cave, without his wit or talent.
