On this date in 1986 (10 November 1986), The Mission released their debut studio album “God’s Own Medicine” featuring singles “Stay with Me" “Wasteland" and “Severina".
The now-defunct American publication Trouser Press 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".
