5.0 out of 5 stars The Delgados brilliant fourth album! One for the ages!!, April 8, 2003

If you have never heard of the Scottish rock group The Delgados and are reading this, please STOP right now and just go and pick this up. A brilliant album, 'Hate' contains some of the groups most indelible melodies and hooks, and has a majestic sweep that is almost euphoric despite the fact that the album contains some truly dark lyrics. In fact, this contrast is what makes this such a great album. With each work, The Delgados have quickly burned themselves into my mind as my favorite group. They are definitely a band to watch in the future. Exciting stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars God this is good, December 9, 2003

I fell in love with the first track (after hearing it as the OP for "Gunslinger Girl") and knew I had to have the rest of the album. That first track makes an unforgettable impression. The lush orchestration embellishes and clarifies the music. There's more going on here than mere clever songwriting and competant musicianship. I think that fans of the late Elliot Smith will get on well with this album; even though the styles differ, the sentiment and spirit much overlap.

5.0 out of 5 stars POWERFUL STUFF, February 26, 2003

By 

Kevin (Glen Ellyn, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hate (Audio CD)

The Great Eastern was a tough act to follow, and the Delgados quickly became one of my favorite bands after that album.My first reaction to "Hate" was that is had great songs, but lacked "punch." Soon however, the album starts getting into your very soul, with the emotional power of the music (I've always been someone who listens to the music more than the lyrics) more than making up for any loud guitars. Note: the distortion in track 1 is intentional, to add contrast to Emma's buitiful vocals. Listen to tracks 1,3, and 5. Heck, just BUY the album, and if you don't have The Great Eastern, buy that too. The Delgados play the kind of wonderful, creative stuff that represents Indie Rock at its best.
