Press Reviews
...it's a record of beautifully constructed songs - pastiches, yes, but so perfectly rendered as to be melt-in-your-mouth lovely The Guardian
It's wonderful from early nets to stumps, a witty, tune-packed delight that hops gaily from style to style to accommodate the different moods...Hannon and Walsh have crafted one of the year's very best albums The Independent

Comments about DIVINE COMEDY RECORD Duckworth Lewis Method - Duckworth Lewis Method:
If Jeff Lynne out of ELO liked cricket then he would have made an album that sounded quite a bit like this. As it happens, Neil Hannon out of The Divine Comedy likes cricket and he has an album that sounds exactly like this!
Basically this is an album of songs all of whose lyrics refer to that most English of sporting pursuits, the thwack of leather on willow, etc. Cricket. Now, I'm no fan of the sport but I love this album to bits. Unsurprisingly it sounds similar to The Divine Comedy's work and it could well sound like Pugwash too (Hannon's collaborator normally operates in said outfit) but I've not heard their ouevre so I can't fairly say.
There's not a bad song on here from the charlstonesque samples of "The Age Of Revolution" to the stomping camper van singalong of "Meeting Mr Miandad" via the brilliant vaudeville take on the "Ball Of The Century" incident (I had to google it!) "Jiggery Pokery".
Fans of The Divine Comedy will love this record. Fans of cricket will love this record. Fans of neither will probably love it too.
