The Divine Comedy - Casanova
I'll preface this review by saying: don't take this personally Trollheart. I do like you as a person. But I can't stand this album.
There must be something I'm missing - this surely can't be as bad as it sounds. Plenty of reviewers on RYM seem to consider this a work of genius. I admire the guy's ambition, playing all the drum, guitar and bass parts as well as the singing and songwriting. But there's a reason people specialise - It's so they can become good at something. The instrumentation just seems barely adequate and the composition feels like a string of pop clichés. His lyric writing and singing are better, but not enough to save this for me.
2/10
