5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2005

Echo & The Bunnymen were the first "cool" band I fell in love with. The album art is incredible, the name was cool and "strange", and most importantly the music was awesome, from the lyrics to the atmosphere. I love all their work and this one took the longest to get into, but became my favorite, right next to the brilliance of Ocean Rain. Porcupine was my favorite on first listen and Crocodiles is always fun so there is a lot of competition. This is the darkest of the 4 and maybe that is why I love it. It also rocks out as powerfully as any album I own so maybe that is what pushes it over the edge. The CD starts with "Show Of Strength", edgy and powerful, setting you up for a fight with the outside world and personal demons, this song transitions to "With A Hip", a really cool song that carries the flag filling you with a rush of adrenaline. Next is "Over The Wall", a powerful song you can't escape, drawing you into a magical world and not letting you up. The next two songs do let you relax a bit until "Heaven Up Here". This is one of my favorite songs ever. Ian's demons are all exposed and he is giving everything to escape this world while at the same time giving into its dark pleasures. He fails to escape and acknowledges his pain in the truly sad "The Disease". One of the darkest tracks to be written about the futility of life. The Bunnymen aren't afraid to expose the pain of reality and this is another reason this CD is so powerful. This atmosphere builds until "Turquoise Days" where the tension builds to the most incredible adrenalin rush of all time recorded on CD where you feel like you can grab the world by the balls and crush it. The CD than lets up a bit allowing the listener go to a world where we must take pleasure in the simple things to find any comfort at all in "All I Want". A work of genius.

This takes a few spins to fully appreciate, but it is very moody and energetic. Mac continues the "will it or won't it crack?" of his vocals from previous albums. My favorite track ever by the Bunnymen is "With a Hip", and I particularly like this version because of its slower tempo. Other recordings such as the versions on the BBC and Royal Albert Hall albums are quicker paced, and while the Bunnymen are even better live than in their studio efforts, I just prefer it a little slower and less frenzied. This album does not disappoint, and for new fans of the band, I recommend this as a jump start to the greatness that is the Bunnymen. I'm not going to compare this to previous albums because I don't think it's fair to do so. (Artists change as people, therefore their music changes. They should be allowed those changes. Their music today is definitely different than the music they released in the 80's, and it's just as great). So buy a used copy; you can get one cheap. If you don't like it, you didn't spend a big wad of cash for nothing. And if you love it (which you will) buy other used copies of "Crocodiles" and "Porcupine". Then treat yourself to the "Crystal Days" box set.

Liverpool's answer to Manchester's Joy Division. A great album from 1981. McCulloch and Co. deliver a grand performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best records ever made
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011

Let me begin by saying that I buy and listen to a lot of music. This is an epic masterpiece. Rich, creative, layered, imaginative and inspirational. The fact that it was made in the early 80's has almost no imprint on the sound. The band is working together to create sonic joy with a sound that has emotional integrity. Its amazingly original. By contrast, many Echo and the Bunnymen records sort of follow a style - and the game plan is transparent. Not the case with Heaven Up There. This is also a really well produced record. You can make out the lyrics - while the percussion and guitars just flow around the drums and keyboards with each coming forwards like an actor lit up on-stage - all moving in perfect harmony. I swear I'm not just some fanboy listening to this high as a kite... This really is a Sergeant Pepper.

If anyone from the band reads this - can I beg you to try to get back here.

I KNEW what I was getting with this one. It is a replacement CD from the days (daze?) of storage wars from 2009, so I am fully satisfied with the product and the pricing and condition it arrived in. Nothing much else to report, but thanks for asking.

5.0 out of 5 stars EATB rule!
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2008

EATB is the best band in the world....from Erics to their new CD out this year.....(including Electrafixion and Mac & Will's solo albums) no one can compare with all of the elements - Mac's lyrics, Will's guitar, Les's bass and the sorely missed best drummer ever- Pete.
Reverberation ticked me off immediately because it wasn't Mac...but you gotta give credit where it's due- Will & Les were amazing.
I could never pick a favorite EATB song or album....IMPOSSIBLE...what do you expect from the best band in the world but all classics!

If you're looking for an alternative new wave fix, this album won't disappoint. Similar goth-rock vibes like The Cure, Siouxie & the Banshees etc. I actually prefer this Echo & the Bunnymen album over 'Crocodiles' (which is also good). Nice 180g vinyl pressing too...

5.0 out of 5 stars 5th time lucky

Love this album and decided I needed it on vinyl as well as the CD version I've had for donkeys years.
Bought Crocodiles, Porcupine and Ocean Rain too. Those were all perfect silent pressings but HUH proved troublesome. Two copies were returned as there were too many pops and clicks. Another two were returned unplayed as upon opening big scratches were visible (not quite sure how a shrink wrapped record gets scratched and gets past QC). The fifth copy was fine. I only persevered as I didn't see the point of having the other three and not HUH.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una de Sus Obras Maestras
Reviewed in Spain on August 22, 2017
Verified Purchase
“Heaven up here”, una de sus obras maestras y quizás el disco favorito de los fans más acérrimos. Producido por Hugh Jones, el disco desata definitivamente todo el poder de la banda, donde la guitarra de Will Sergeant crea texturas psicodélicas fascinantes, mientras la voz de Mc Culloch ataca desde alturas insospechadas, buscando rescatar paraísos perdidos.

El tema que más destacó de esa placa fueron la poderosa “Show of strenght” y “A promise”, una hipnótica canción suspendida en una atmósfera de onírica expresión: “Dices que algo va a cambiar/ estamos todos vestidos/ como para ir a alguna parte/no hay señales de lluvia/ pero prometiste/ que algo va a cambiar”, dice una parte de la letra.
