1989 studio album by The Psychedelic Furs
Book of Days is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Psychedelic Furs , released in 1989 by Columbia Records .[1] It reached No. 74 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 138 on the US Billboard 200 .[2] [3]
Two singles were released from the album, "Should God Forget" and "House", which peaked at No. 8 and No. 1, respectively, on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[4] "House" also reached No. 90 in the UK Singles Chart .
Production [ edit ]
The album was coproduced by David M. Allen .[5] It marked the return of original bandmember Vince Ely.[6]
Critical reception [ edit ]
The St. Petersburg Times noted that "the Furs often sound downright metallic, kicking out churning, noisome arrangements and hard-rock riffs."[10] The Boston Globe deemed the album "dense, murky, agitated, hauntingly pretty and lush in places, generally caustic."[5] The Toronto Star determined that the album "merits the attention of longtime fans, if only for the raw, anxious intensity that has sprung anew in Richard Butler's doom-laden voice."[11]
The Spin Alternative Record Guide panned David M. Allen 's "muddy mix," writing that "Butler's voice has never come across so biteless and small."[9]
