On this day in 1986 (10 November 1986), The Mission released their debut studio album “God’s Own Medicine” featuring singles “Stay with Me" “Wasteland" and “Severina".
Writing for American publication Trouser Press, Ira Robbins described the album as a "dull and insipid guitar/keyboard/string bombast", and "a horrible amalgam of Led Zeppelin, Yes and Echo & the Bunnymen". AllMusic described it as "the marker for goth rock's invasion of the U.K. charts for a good chunk of the late '80s".
