re: Ghostdini - its a solid Ghost album but oddly not a lot of straight up love songs on there iirc
The "love songs" aspect is not so much in the songs themselves (well, most of them, anyway) but the general vibe the album gives off. Just listening to the album through, I get the feeling that Ghost really really realllllllly loves the ladies -- he loves pampering them, making them happy and also really loves fucking the shit out of them. But that's just the vibe I get. It's not a bunch of love songs, it is a love ALBUM.
