Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week!
From Free net encyclopedia
Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week! was the second album released in October 1989 by the Icelandic alternative rock-pop band The Sugarcubes that brought fame to singer Björk.
The name of the album was inspired by Mr. Toad from the famous children's book by Kenneth Grahame The Wind In The Willows.
On the contrary to Life's Too Good which was the first album, Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week! did not receive good criticism and most of the blame fell on vocalist Einar Örn because of his distorted screaming and moaning.
