This was them Irish lads' follow-up to their breakthrough album Troublegum, released the year before.
Main man Andy Cairns has said something to the effect of "Everyone who likes it should be shot". A bit harsh, but I probably made that quote up. He does hate the album though, at least he used to. The critical reception for this was (as I remember it anyway) much more mixed than that for Troublegum, but more and more people are recognising it for the great album that it is. It did quite well sales-wise, and the Hüsker Dü cover Diane is still played on rock stations around the world.
Infernal Love (which I for years thought was called Infertal Love - a superior title if you ask me) follows in the same "pop metal" vein as Troublegum, but the mood here is decidedly darker. This may not be as good as Troublegum, but it's pretty fucking close.
Buy Infernal Love @ Amazon.com.

My favourite Therapy? album. Oddly enough, "A Moment of Clarity" is my favourite track on it, too... and probably my favourite Therapy? song. So well done for recommending that one.
Yep, best T? album. Last one with Fyfe.
