Critical reception ''Only Theatre of Pain'' was praised by critics on its release. Mick Mercer of ''Melody Maker'' called it the "gothic album to out-gothic all others". Around the time of its release, a presenter on a religious TV program, in a special on " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
