Hercules and Love Affair - Hercules And Love Affair


DJ Andy Butler concept album about Greek Gods and such. Features some of my favorite artists like Antony Hegarty, Nomi and Kim Ann Foxman. So it's only right that I think this album is brilliant. To tell you the truth I think it's one of the best releases of the year. The beats are like something you would hear in the 70's (very disco) and it's seems every vocalist on the album does what the album I think they are suppose to do. One of the highlights of the album 'Iris' Andy Butler states is about "If one day if a goddess descended on earth what would she say...I thought the message she would deliver is that today isn't about you...". If you like any type of Dance/Electronic/Disco check this album out. You won't be disappointed. (Best Tracks: 'Blind', 'Athene' and 'Iris')

Rating: Lyrics: 39/40 (The lyrics are so deep and personal)

Tunefulness: 46/50 (The beats are perfect and what you would expect from disco)

Originality: 10/10 (It's modern disco that isn't like anything else out there)

Overall: 95/100 (Nothing like this has been released this year)
