After the relatively disappointing Absent Friends, Victory For The Comic Muse is The Divine Comedy back to their louche, seductive best. This is as good as it gets.
2006-06-12 - REVIEW
As the title would suggest, ‘Diva Lady’ sees Neil Hannon return to the flamboyant form that helped make his name a decade ago. Though easy on the ear like much of Hannon’s more popular work, there’s little exciting or lasting about his latest effort. As ever he hands up disposable pop, driven by throwaway lyrics, delivered with his ‘ain’t I clever’ Wildean phrasing.

To the unending delight of the crowd, the choice of Neosupervital to support The Divine Comedy was a good one, as they clearly share the desire that art should draw attention to its artfulness.

If I make impossible demands of The Divine Comedy, it’s the fault of Absent Friends. The album of the year set the bar for the gig of a lifetime. (For which title it would have to go toe-to-toe with Dexys miraculous gig in Vicar St. last November.)

The boy Hannon can always be relied on to cobble together a cracking radio-friendly tune, and this is gladly no exception. As ever, Hannon’s honeyed vocals, ambitious production and expressive, masterful song-writing combine to stunning effect, and the result is an enchanting, catchy number that should serve only to consolidate Neil’s national treasure status.

If you’re like me, then The Divine Comedy 1993-96 was aural El Dorado, the last couple of albums were disappointing, and Absent Friends is the one you’ve been waiting for; the one you were worried Neil Hannon might never make.

The genius of Neil Hannon lies in his ability to take the most mundane situations and transform them into the most glorious of reasons for living.
1999-09-01 - REVIEW
ANY ALBUM that devotes its opening track to the cross-dressing antics of cartoon character Mr. Benn must have something going for it and as 'Festive Road' takes you strolling through the leafy streets of sixties' London suburbia, it soon becomes apparent that what we're dealing with here is songwriting of a vastly superior quality.
