RogerT.Mar 24, 2008I think this album is complete crap. It lacks substance, none of the songs grab you and want to make you want to listen again. It's like a bad combination of The Cure and The Comunards.

JosephBAug 28, 2008Disco. No, I mean it, disco. Andy Butler and Antony Hegarty are bringing you brand spankin

JohnP.Oct 28, 2008Poor. Nothing except for Antony and some catchy-jazzy-funky tunes. I am sorry.

JeremyF.Mar 21, 2008I never have been able to get used to Antony's voice. The music is astounding, but the vocals will eternally irritate me. (And even if I liked his voice, it doesn't go well with dance music.)

KR.Jun 24, 2008Sounds catchy and his voice is beautiful but this is awfully ghey stuff.

AramisG.Jun 23, 2008Sounds pretty good a first, then gets progressively more typical each repeat listen. Over-hyped.

This record is as on disco and early house's dick as much as Britpop was on The Beatles' and The Kinks'.
-
Hercules and Love Affair is a sincere and sumptuous stab at the mirrorball splendor of the 1970s.
-
It's the big numbers, when Hegarty steps up to the microphone, that reveal Hercules And Love Affair as a project that captures not only the full range of moods on a night out on the tiles, but also the full range of human emotions from the start of a night to its end.
