Advantages: Strong songs Disadvantages: None
...the Bunnymen’s second album, 1981’s Heaven Up Here, firmly established them as a major force, being voted album of the year by readers of the NME.

Album Notes: Though it yielded only one minor hit single in the band's native England, HEAVEN UP HERE is considered by many to be the ultimate Echo and the Bunnymen album.

Album Reviews: NME (9/25/93, p.19) - Ranked #39 in NME's list of The 50 Greatest Albums Of The '80s.
