  • Summary: The San Diego-based band returns with their fourth album of dark, atmospheric music, following previous albums '1,' '2,' and, yes, '3' (c'mon guys, what happened to '4?'). This one is a concept album of sorts, about a murder mystery.

    The concept is brilliant and musically the Black Heart Procession have never sounded better.

    While Amore del Tropico blazes some new paths for Black Heart Procession, it also hits all the right notes from the group's past.

    This is Calexico on downers, Lee Hazlewood on jolly pills. [Dec 2002, p.131]

    Admirably fresh, but perhaps too long. [December 2002, p.97]
