Product Description

CD Description

For an album so wrought with homoerotic themes and graphic sexuality, Joel Gibb sings it surprisingly straight. Meaning, it's rather easy to get lost in the classic timbre and inflection of his voice, before realising the lyrics are ratherblue. (Listen to "That's When the Ceremony Starts" for irreverent lines that stand out like a hooker in church.)
As primary songwriter/musician/producer, Gibb takes the quirky subtlety of the Hidden Cameras' 2003 debut, THE SMELL OF OUROWN, and turns it up a few dozen notches with more grandiose pop orchestration and further tales of sexual struggle andtriumph. Rather brilliant arrangements sprawl out over the course of the album, as if Belle & Sebastian honed their melodic skills even further. The Hidden Cameras' AM-radio pop is thoroughly hooky, though it's the massive strings and melodies in songs like "Fear Is On", that elevate the band to its reputation as a "gay folk choir". Whatever the case, chances are music this randy is unlike anything in the church organist's repertoire.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Cameras Develop, 31 Jul 2004
By A Customer
Roughly a year ago, the Hidden Cameras marched onto the unsuspecting UK scene with a glorious debut and a penchant for on-stage frivolity, and made a mark that was hard to wash off. 12 months on, Joel Gibb and co. present us with a new offer, a second helping of the 'gay church folk' that turned so many heads when they first arrived.

Whilst hardly being a massive departure from their first album, the sound has evolved slightly, as shown by the light-speed grandiose pop of Fear Is On and the clever flirtations with dark theatrics on Bboy. The openess that made the Hidden Cameras so thrilling is still here too; on That's When the Ceremony Starts, Joel Gibb revels in an erotic description of his infatuation as an orchestra lightly tip-toes around him and his guitar, whilst on Music Is My Boyfriend, words like 'gangly-greens' and 'vaseline' are dropped like no-bodies business.

The production has also advanced, giving the songs some neat touches and a quick spit-shine, most keenly felt on the likes of Builds the Bone and We Oh We, where the simplest of melodies drift on a sea of violas and cellos.

Complaints? A personal one is that the lyrics seem to stop before they really get going, rather than weaving elaborate tales of love and filth, a gift Joel Gibb clearly has, verses and choruses are sometimes repeated with only the slightest of variation to keep you interested. I Believe in the Good Life would have been a triumph had it been for a little more thought and care, the song soon wears itself out on it's limited content.

But, despite this pitfall, the strong melodies and tight song structures pull all of the songs through, and as shown on I Want Another Enema, the results are splendid as well as constantly playable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Cameras rule, 16 Jul 2004
I can't believe nobody has written a review of this album. This the HC's second album. The first was Smell of Our Own, and this is more of the same. If you like Chemikal Underground stuff -- especially The Delgados or Belle & Sebastian -- you'll love this.And if you like it you HAVE to see them live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mississauga Goddam good, 22 Feb 2007
By A. C. Williams (Caerdydd, Cymru) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the most uplifting LPs of the last ten years. I'm totally hooked on the Hidden Cameras now, just bought The Smell of Our Own and Awoo. Every song could be a single, they're so catchy and gorgeous, and downright rude! Fabulous. Joel Gibb is my hero.
