Title: Great, but more morbid than you'd think
Review: Let me begin by saying that I love "ANThology", and think it's one of the best albums of the year.With that out of the way, one needs to be aware that the content of these songs is a lot more depressing than "Smooth Criminal" and the band's antics would lead you to believe. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but when you realize that their two singles ("Movies" and "Smooth Criminal"), which about breaking up and a grisly murder, respectively, are the two most upbeat songs on the album, one can easily imagine feeling uneasy about the rest of the songs. In fact, the best song, "Death Day" combines breaking up with a grisly death and still manages to include morbid humor (i.e., "Papa's got a brand new BODY bag").All in all, "ANThology" is a great album, but you may need to listen to it several times before you get used to the mood.
