Days Run Away

The post-Smiths guitar pop of the House of Love was popular for a short time in the late '80s, as many college and alternative rock fans became converts to their mixture of shiny ringing guitars, pseudo-psychedelic melodies, and bursts of noise. The British group formed in 1986. Days Run Away, with its chugging and strident guitar and bass runs, which is almost perfection. Nothing feels out of place. Which is to say that this album meets expectations and this may be a disappointment for those wanting reinvention. V2. 2005.
