Álbum recopilatorio del grupo indie pop originario de Irlanda del Norte The Divine Comedy. Formado en 1988, la banda está liderada por Neil Hannon, compositor, cantante, guitarrista, pianista y único miembro estable del proyecto, aunque a lo largo de los años han pasado por él una larga lista de músicos.
Su música combina influencias de grupos como The Smiths y Electric Light Orchestra con la tradición crooner de Scott Walker y Jacques Brel1​ y el pop barroco de The Beach Boys o Burt Bacharach.2​ Asimismo, la variada instrumentación y los arreglos orquestales de sus canciones también toman como referencia la música de compositores como Ravel, Stravinsky, John Barry, Michael Nyman o Philip Glass.3​ Pese a estas influencias, el grupo ha sido criticado en ocasiones por publicar como discos sencillos sus canciones más orientadas al easy listening.4​
Las letras de Neil Hannon se caracterizan por retratar irónicamente la vida moderna y por incluir en ellas guiños a sus referentes literarios y culturales con los que aborda temáticas como el amor, el sexo o la venganza.3​2​
