Love & Rockets
Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven
Genre: Goth Rock
3 out of 5
Highlights:
Haunted When the Minutes Drag
So, here we are. Love & Rockets’ first album. I won’t hear them for a few years and that album remains a favorite of mine from the era. But, after the weird David J offerings and Tones on Tail there’s a welcome commerciality to it.
It’s here that we can truly hear the connection between these guys and latter day Beatles and Moody Blues. Love & Rockets is the spiritual cousin to Psychedelic Furs, especially as they divest themselves of their darkness and embrace the lushness of production.
It’s not fully formed here, as the songs are all still relatively weak but you can hear where they are going.
Especially on the harbinger of things to come “Haunted When the Minutes Drag”.
