Album Review: The Crimea - Tragedy Rocks

An atmospheric piano intro bursts a flood of emotional, sweet melodies. The Crimea present a bittersweet collection of edgy tales. Musically, it swings from upbeat such as Lottery Winners On Acid, to swirling and bleak – Opposite Ends. Davey McManus’ voice portrays desperation with such painful honesty that it is hard not to be drawn in to his world of destruction and debauchery. From start to finish, it’s aching, it’s powerful and it hurts. Imaginative, emotional rock – tragedy has never been so appealing.
