Lovegod is the second studio album by the Soup Dragons, released in 1990.[1] [2] 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.
The album peaked at No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart.[3] It peaked at No. 88 on the Billboard 200.[4] The video for "I'm Free" made it to the top spot on MTV's most requested list.[2]
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."[5] Spin deemed it "well-crafted danceable rock with immaculate production."[6]
All songs by Sean Dickson except where noted.
