Lovegod

1990 studio album by The Soup Dragons

Lovegod is the second studio album by the Soup Dragons, released in 1990.[7][8] Four songs from the album were released as singles—"Backwards Dog", "Crotch Deep Trash", "Mother Universe" and "I'm Free". The latter, a cover of a Rolling Stones cut from their 1965 album Out of Our Heads, made the top 5 in the UK charts. First pressings did not include "I'm Free", but it was subsequently placed first on the re-release, which also dates to 1990.

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "an effective, accessible (if ultimately tedious) trip of house-geared rhythms, semi-firm melodies and singer/guitarist/programmer Sean Dickson’s obviously mind-expanded lyrics."[1] Spin deemed it "well-crafted danceable rock with immaculate production."[11]
