"Boo Hoo" (2002) is an album by the dark cabaret/darkwave artist Voltaire. It was released in 2002 by Projekt Records. [ [http://www.projekt.com/projekt/product.asp?sku=PRO00129&dept%5Fid=10] Projekt Records page about the album] [ [http://voltaire.net/] Voltaire's official site]

The album features the song "BRAINS!" which is arguably Voltaire's most notable song. This album has a significantly different sound, subject matter, and atmosphere than most Voltaire's releases. The album is much fueled by heartbreak which is most likely because Voltaire himself felt some before writing the songs.

The songs "BRAINS!", "The Vampire Club" and "Graveyard Picnic" also appear on "Deady Sings!", Voltaire's greatest hits album. Live versions of "BRAINS!" and "The Vampire Club" appear on Voltaire's live album, "Live!". "BRAINS!" also appears on the compilation album "".
