Gentlemen (album)
''Gentlemen'' is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band the Afghan Whigs. It was recorded primarily at Ardent Studios in Memphis, with the band's frontman Greg Dulli producing, and released on October 5, 1993, by Elektra Records. Written by Dulli on tour for the band's 1992 album ''Congregation'', ''Gentlemen'' is composed as a troubling song cycle that follows a toxic relationship as it ends. Noted for Dulli's grimly acerbic lyrics and influences from soul music, it is considered by critics to be the Afghan Whigs' greatest record, an essential release from the 1990s, and among the best-written breakup albums. The album was remastered in deluxe format for its 21st anniversary and covered extensively in a dedicated volume of the 33⅓ music book series. Writing and recording The Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli, an amateur filmmaker during his teenage years, took direct inspiration for ''Gentlemen''s thematic concept from Francis Ford Coppola's 1982 romant ...
