Psychedelic Furs lost their way hopelessly after the commercial high point of Mirror Moves (1984). Here Richard Butler rebuilds lost credibility with a creative new guitarist, Richard Fortus, and a sound more atuned to early Furs than the pop puppets they became. "Am I Wrong" is a compelling first single, and Butler's renewed confidence shines through on the superb "Change In The Weather." --Jeff Bateman

The nasal young man in black who fronted the Psychedelic Furs during the 1980-85 salad days haunts these grooves, but only as a reminder of lost glories. Richard Butler's meditations on life and the big stuff have grown wordy and oblique, while his faceless band is blandly competent. If you must try it, check out "Well Well Well" or "7 Years." --Jeff Bateman

Album Description

Second album, originally released in 1997, led by Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler! Maverick.

Customer Reviews:

An OK CD.......2006-03-07

I really loved their debut. This one falls short as I do hear the formula. The songs are all safe and bland. A real shame. I also get sick of all bands singing about religion and people having souls. Sing about reality and drop the pretension. One to avoid.

Not Furgotten.......2005-12-06

Richard Butler seems to be back in bed with his Psychedelic mates, but I almost wish he'd give this band another shot. Now seemingly in the "Shame It's Out-of-Print" File, 1997's "Trysome Eatone" delivered nicely on the promise of the band's eponymous 1994 debut, essentially transporting and updating the Furs sound for a new generation. "Long Long Time" is an appropriately growling opener, while "Fall On Tears" is wistfully lovely in the same vein as "Am I Wrong" from LSL's first release. Most of the album features the acidic vinegar that's been missing from the Furs for quite some time, combined with a new wisdom-of-the-years showing through in Butler's lyrics. If he chooses to stick with his roots, so be it, but this is the most dynamic and interesting album Butler managed to record in the 90's.

Something for everyone.......2005-07-12

There is no question who is the sole driving force of this underrated album. Even the picture of the band on the CD sleeve gives it away: the blurry three band members standing in the background, with the crystal clear, androgynous Richard Butler in the foreground. On "Trysome Eatone," Richard's brother Tim is credited as a co-writer on only one song ("It Hurts When I Laugh") and is not listed as a member of the band in the credits (see also Oasis and The Kinks for brotherly discontent in rock bands).

In listening to this album, I think I finally understand why Richard Butler may have liked working with lead guitarist Richard Fortus (who later joined Guns N Roses) as opposed to John Ashton (lead guitarist of The Psychedelic Furs). Fortus simply is more versatile, especially on softer songs. However, they're both quite proficient at creating textured layered sound. But why didn't the Furs just add Fortus and go with two guitars?

"Trysome Eatone" is a very good album, with a wide variety of songs that successfully showcase the songwriting talent of Richard Butler. "Well Well Well," "Sweet Thing" and the Catherine Wheel like "More than Money" demonstrate how the band can rock with fuzzy distortion-like effects. For ballads, the band gives us "Fall On Tears," "7 Years," and "All God's Children," the latter of which may or may not be told from the perspective of a pedophile (I'm not sure about this though).

For straight forward rock, the first two songs are just fine: the Smithereens-sounding "Long Long Time," and "Believe." If you like something more strange and offbeat, give "November 5" a listen. In another words, there is something for all fans of Richard Butler and his two bands. Perhaps that's what Butler was thinking when he named this very fine album, which I hope isn't his last in either guise.

Such a shame.......2002-10-18

I saw this band live the year this record came out. . .I think it was 1997 in a little concert hall in Detroit. I went knowing only Richard Butler's older material from the Psychedelic Furs. It was AMAZING. They are increadable.

This album is amazing. . .track for track, the album moves you. Richard Butler is the only man cool enough make the phrase "well, well, well" sound good. How do you do that? I am sorry to see that this album is already out of print. Buy it used, buy it new if you can find it. It is so worth it. It is rare to see an eighties guy come in to a new era and still be relevant.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!.......2000-09-13

Having first put on the first LP (remember them) with headphones and mood enhancer in hand, and having my eardrums blown out by India, dancing like a fool to TALK TALK TALK, blessed to see them perform as a 6 piece, disenchanted for a bit like the rest after 'forever now', slightly uplifted with the release of 'all that money wants' (the single only), and appreciative of their attempts of the two final cd's of the Pfurs, i thought i would never hear that sound again. the lyrics are there, the music is different, yet so familiar without being the Pfurs. of course it's butler's voice that's jumps out first, then the sound to grab me, but it's the abstract lyrics, or the blunt truths about society and culture that are here to keep me. of course i may be full of crap, but it's what i like. i don't WANT the Pfurs back, i want this music to come out every three years like it seems to be..........i hope. this can be said of both of their cd's, both great and different from each other. i will be playing these for awhile.

Not brilliant, not bad 3.5 out of 5.......2006-11-11

I have been listening to the Psychedlic Furs for about 25 years now, and only came across Love Spit Love after their brief incarnation had been and gone. This is a good album, although I would recommend Trysome Eatone over this. Stand-out songs are "Am I Wrong", "Codeine" and "More" - some of the other tracks seem to be trying too hard to be quirky. Having said that, anyone who is a fan of Richard Butler's unique vocal style and unusual, but often moving, lyrics (and I am one of those) will enjoy this album.

One of the great albums of the 1990's.......2006-07-10

Richard Butler left his milleu of the "beautiful chaos" New Wave of the Psychedelic Furs and delved into a more resonant and less synthetic sound with this, the premiere album of Love Spit Love. It begins with a sonic assault of guitars and drums with "Seventeen" and ends with the somber, thrumming and dream-like "More" and inbetween these songs are more truly beautiful, sorrowful, and wonderful songs than anything Richard Butler has done before. Songs like "Green", "Half a Life", "Change in the Weather" and "Superman" are all incredibly evocative, sometimes louder and sometimes softer but all are powerful. The highlights of the album lie with the one hit yielded from the album "Am I Wrong", which is a song which digs deep into regret and melancholy and romance and the lyrical and musical brilliance of "Codeine". This album is very reminiscent of the works of another truly great band R.E.M., and I can't help thinking that some of the inspiration for this album are from R.E.M. songs. Just looking at the titles of some of the songs: "Superman", "Green" and "Wake Up" (R.E.M. having a song called "Get Up"). Maybe it's just coincidence, but one way or the other, this is one of the best albums of the 1990's and is a must-have for any Richard Butler fan.

Am I wrong? NO!.......2005-07-10

Simply said, this is a great album. With some strong influence from his early band, Psychedlic Furs, Richard Butlter rocks hard as probably one of the best frontmen of the 80's.

(three and a half stars) consistent, but never takes flight.......2005-07-08

Richard Fortus (later to join Guns N Roses) replaces John Ashton on lead guitar, and, for some reason (probably legal or contractual), the band changes its name from "The Psychedelic Furs" to "Love Spit Love." Is Fortus an improvement? It's hard to say, but the first Love Spit Love album is not a heck of alot different than the Furs last ("World Outside"), and that's just fine.

This album maintains a certain consistency throughout. All of the songs are basically of similar quality, my favorites being "Superman," "Half A Life," "Am I Wrong," and "Green," but I could just as easily have named another four. And that's the problem. None of the tracks really distinguishes itself from the others, and, after about the 8th song, one wonders when it's going to end. Alot of the tracks meander on for about a minute too long, but, to repeat, the entire album is consistently decent. If I were to rate each song individually, I might give most 4 stars and a few three, but here, the sum of the parts are greater than the whole.

I recommend this album to all fans of the Butler brothers' former band, just don't expect another "India" or "Ghost In You."

Richard Butler at his best.......2004-09-05

For fans of eighties music, or those who simply enjoy finely crafted, lush sounds, the debut CD by Love Spit Love is a great choice.

I've been a long-time fan of the Psychedelic Furs, (my favorite Furs CDs are Forever Now and Mirror Moves). Some of the tracks on this disc are uneven, but I would consider the song "Am I Wrong?" as strong as anything that the Furs put out. I prefer the first Love Spit Love CD to the second one...so if you are only going to pick up one, I'd recommend starting here.

LOVE this BAND --need this edition.......2006-01-25

can someone help me out with this CD? cant find a copy with the bonus tracks. One of the most overlooked bandsof the 90's.

"Wake Up!" This is Richard Butler at his best!.......2001-03-17

I bought this CD when it was first released and I still can't get enough of it. This CD is amazing and, in my opinion, eclipses most of Richard Butler's work with the Psychedelic Furs (and that is saying A LOT!). There is so much variety on this album. It contains exploding rockers like "Seventeen" and "Change in the Weather," brooding melodies like "Superman," "Please," and "Codeine," slower tracks that beg to be sang along to like "Half A Life," "Am I Wrong," and "Wake Up," and different sounds that defy categorization like "Jigsaw" (is that a kazoo I'm hearing?), "St. Mary's Gate," and "Green" (with an orchestra!). In otherwords, you get "More" with this album than with most other CDs in the "alternative '90s" music bin. What's more, I think Richard Butler's vocals have never been better! The melody, passion and emotion of his voice are revealed on tracks like "Am I Wrong" and "More" better than they were on any of the Furs material I've heard. If you are a Psychedelic Furs fan who has yet missed out on Love Spit Love, buy this CD! It is worth the price (this release includes cool music videos!). You will not be disappointed!

Stellar Singer Stop Smoking!.......1999-12-15

I find it hard to believe nobody has reviewed Love Spit Love...maybe they're too busy watching MTV. This singer's voice is so heavenly he could read novels as song and still remind me of a bird of paradise I once saw in New Guinea after a rainstorm- this music will make you dance in the dark, meditate, and walk in the cold night w/ your eyes searching out stars. It's a commentary on the brutality of capitalism & a searing, dispairing way of getting through it...or losing yourself in the gutter puddles trying to. Daggerlike irony & exhileration- that's Love Spit Love. But when he plays live, he should lose the packet of cigarettes so the voice lingers.Longer.
