The Dear Hunter - Act I, II & III [3 CD Digipack, Reissue] (2017) FLAC

In 2006, The Dear Hunter (fronted by multi-talented Casey Crescenzo – formerly of The Receiving End of Sirens) started creating a six act concept piece regarding the birth, life, and death of a boy known only as “The Dear Hunter” at the beginning of the 20th century. The first act is his birth, and his relationship with his mother, who then dies at the beginning of the second act, forcing him to strike out on his own and face life on his own. In so doing, he falls in love with a prostitute, and at the end of act two, leaves town heartbroken and distraught. This leads to act three, where he joins the army and fights in the first world war.

Since the release of Act III in 2009, the band has released other albums that aren’t part of the Act story, but that are progressive in their own way. However, none of these other releases holds a candle to the magnificence of Act II, which to me is the perfect balance of concept and execution. There is something sad and redeeming about the record, and while each song can be played and enjoyed on it’s own, the greatest way to experience it is to play it from beginning to end, and now Triple Crown is allowing all us music lovers to run through the first half of this boys’ life, in order and high-quality to boot.
