Heaven Is Waiting is the second studio album by English gothic rock band The Danse Society. It was released in December 1983, jointly by record labels Arista and Danse Society's own label, Society.
Heaven Is Waiting reached No. 39 in the UK Albums Chart, the highest chart placing of any of their albums.[1]
Heaven Is Waiting has been poorly received by professional critics. Trouser Press called the album "further plodding nonsense".[2] AllMusic wrote, "Heavy on gloomy atmosphere [...] but short on memorable songs, Heaven Is Waiting failed to deliver on the promise Danse Society displayed early in their career", though commenting that the album "isn't without interest."
