Her Highness is the third album by American rock band Medicine, released in 1995 by American Recordings.[1] [2] The band broke up after the album's release, and would not record again until 2003's The Mechanical Forces of Love.[3]
The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "almost numbingly introspective, both musically and lyrically." The Chicago Tribune wrote that "for all of its manufactured navel-contemplating, Her Highness is a trance-inducing album due mostly to its languor." The Tampa Bay Times wrote that a "new-found versatility actually opens the heavy-handed Medicine to lighter, ethereal passages ... rather than just feedback-laden noisefests—although the swirling psychedelic jam of 'Heads' may be one of the group's finest efforts."[4]
