Regeneration is the seventh studio album by The Divine Comedy - and their first for Parlophone/EMI - released on March 12, 2001. Three singles were released from the album: "Love What You Do", "Bad Ambassador" and "Perfect Lovesong", the latter failing to make top 40. Produced by Nigel Godrich, known for his work with Radiohead, this album is distinctly different from Neil Hannon's other work, as it leans towards more stripped down, sombre tunes than the catchy, orchestral-driven songs that his band are well-known for. The album is slightly reminiscent of the now-deleted debut Fanfare for the Comic Muse because of its stylistic differences to their accessible work. It is also worth noting that it is a more group-concentrated effort, hence the more organic sound. All songs written by Neil Hannon. less
