Review

Alternative Press (pp.110-111) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Casey Crescenzo, the multi-talented fountainhead of the Dear Hunter, assembled a masterwork in ACT II: LIFE AND DEATH..."
Billboard (p.34) - "[The album] finds the band exploring baroque orchestral arrangements, Broadway-esque piano ballads and everything in between."

Title Note

Concept albums didn't disappear when alternative rock became rock's primary direction in the early '90s. Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT and Radiohead's OK COMPUTER are well-known alternative rock concept albums, and the conceptual approach is alive and well on the Dear Hunter's 2009 release ACT II: LIFE AND DEATH. This CD is the third of a series of Dear Hunter albums focusing on a character called "The Boy"; in Act III, The Boy is now a man, and the songs describe his struggles in life. Successful concept albums work well as a cohesive whole but should also have great songs that stand out on their own. Happily, individual tracks like "Life and Death," "The Poison Woman," and "Go Get Your Gun" have no problem fitting the bill. The result is an engaging alternative pop/rock effort that has a strong awareness of classic rock but without sounding overtly nostalgic.
