The Dear Hunter - Act V: Hymns With The Devil In Confessional
The Dear Hunter - Act V: Hymns With The Devil In Confessional
These sorts of hyperdramatic, cinematic, conceptual records are really all or nothing. Either it works really well, or not at all. And it has everything to do with the quality of the songwriting.
If the Decemberists, or Death Cab, or Eisley couldn't write a good song, their music would sound like melodramatic twaddle. But they can, and it doesn't. And so it goes with The Dear Hunter.
If you're craving a rock opera, this one is for you.
