Title: Divine Tragedy
Product review: If Neil Hannon released even a mildly tolerable album, I think I might expire from some kind of cardio-pulminary attack. If this sounds harsh, one simply has to pop A Secret History into their CD player and press play. BE WARNED. This Cd may cause fits of nacroleptic episodes among listeners. With the excepton of the National Express, admittedly a lively and quite melodic tune, this album is forgettable and truly dull. What's shameful is Hannon has a wonderfully unique voice which realistically should compliment the music he writes. Alas, it is not so. Hannon's voice is simply overpowered by the annoyingly playful lyrics and predictable pop sentimentality on offer here. It's the kind of tripe we've all heard a 1000 times before. Bottom line, A Secret History:An Unquestionably Dire Offering from a band who could do better.
