Fear of God is the third album by the New Zealand band the Bats, released in 1991. [3] It was their first album to be distributed by Mammoth. [4]
The tracks "The Black and the Blue" and "Boogey Man" were released as singles, and the album peaked at No. 43 in the New Zealand charts. [5] [6]
Trouser Press wrote that "thanks in part to producer Nicholas Sansano (Sonic Youth, Public Enemy), the album dissipates the cloudiness hovering over the Bats' earlier work (which was never an entirely bad thing), while respecting the crisp arrangements and sugary melodic centers." [3] Stereo Review noted the "cute jangly guitars, cute pop hooks, cute rough-hewn vocals." [7]
All tracks are written by The Bats/Robert Scott
