Nope, that's just the one I like the best

I like (not love - like) almost all their stuff

"Generation Sex," "National Express" and "Everybody Knows (Except You)" are all three very good songs, for instance

That's cool!

My favorite tracks are "The Death of a Supernaturalist" and "Tonight we fly".

The Divine Comedy from the 1990's is, indeed, an inspired choice as I thought I was the only person who liked them but, lyrically, they were brilliant. Must check out the Decemberists as I admit to never having heard of them

Sorry I am out of the loop never experienced The Divine Comedy what are
they like musically, if you had to define them...

Thanks,

The two other ones you need are:-
Victory For The Comic Muse & Fin De Siècle (although everybody else seems to have Casanova as their fav),

smart lyrics, original melodies, a lot of chamber music accompaniments. Very very unique. Those thongs that aren't instant gratification, all grow on your eventually. All in all - great listen.

Sorry... I am not Dave

Think Vik does a better job than I could. If you want to read more about them, try this guy as I think he is absolutely spot on with his description & rating of their albums:-
