Q (8/00, pp.119-20) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Their best effort..."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.85) - Ranked #36 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...with its shifting vocal lines phasing through technology's Sunday-best hyperspace, TEENAGE HEAVEN is almost mantric in places, repetitive and understated. And today we can declare that the Trance started here. But so did a lot more besides..."
Many a sad goth mourned the loss of Bauhaus in the early 1980s, but guitarist Daniel Ash and the Haskins brothers carried on without Peter Murphy, first in the short-lived Tones on Tail, and then, in 1985, with Love and Rockets. More pop-leaning than their earlier bands, they were still considered part of the burgeoning "alternative rock" movement that was gathering steam thanks to new mainstream outlets. A pair of charting hits in the U.S. and U.K. resulted in unprecedented fame for Ash and Co. After a five-year break, the band was dropped from their label, but returned in the mid '90s and released three more albums that featured a new electronic/dance bent. They quietly broke up in 1999.
