Review by Brian Eisley

The Hungarian Suicide Songbook, the latest album by Man Plus, is a haunting and thought-provoking collection of songs that explores the darker side of the human psyche. The album takes its name from a real-life book of Hungarian folk songs that were believed to have inspired a wave of suicides in the 1930s, and the songs on the album reflect this sense of melancholy and despair.

Man Plus has always been known for their experimental approach to music, and this album is no exception. The songs are a mixture of electronic and acoustic elements, with atmospheric soundscapes and haunting vocals creating a sense of unease and tension throughout. The lyrics are equally evocative, with themes of loss, loneliness, and existential dread running throughout the album.

Despite the heavy subject matter, there is a beauty to the music on The Hungarian Suicide Songbook that is hard to deny. The melodies are often melancholic, but they are also incredibly catchy and memorable, making this an album that will stay with listeners long after the final notes have faded away.

Summary by Brian Eisley

The Hungarian Suicide Songbook is a powerful and moving album that showcases Man Plus at their very best. It is a testament to the power of music to explore the darkest corners of the human experience and to find beauty in even the most tragic of circumstances.
