We Are They Who Ache with Amorous Love is an album by the rock group Half Japanese, released in 1990.[3]
Content
There are six cover songs, including "Gloria," a song by the band Them famously covered and rewritten by Patti Smith. Two songs were co-written with Daniel Johnston: "Titanic" and "Hand Without a Body."
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "with a rotating stack of fellow noisemakers, Jad manages to deliver some quietly cogent (if unexceptional) performances ('The Titanic,' 'All of Me,' 'Three Rings,' 'Secret' and a few others), but a sizable chunk of the record is unlistenably indulgent nonsense, noisy improvs in the musical sandbox."[4]Magnet counted the album as among the band's "most accessible, most listenable."[5]
Legacy
Kurt Cobain of Nirvana ranked it his 37th favorite album on his top 50 favorite albums list, published in Journals.[6][7][8]
