Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Regeneration' was released in 2001, The Divine Comedy had firmly established themselves in the Britpop scene with their previous album, 'Casanova' (1996). This record marked a pivotal moment for frontman Neil Hannon, as it represented a shift towards a more mature sound and lyrical depth following the commercial success of their earlier work.
