God's Own Medicine is the debut studio album by the English gothic rock band the Mission.
Much of the material had featured on the tour and the band completed Gods Own Medicine within a period of four weeks.
Writing for American publication Trouser Press, Ira Robbins described the album as a "dull and insipid guitar/keyboard/string bombast", and "a horrible amalgam of Led Zeppelin, Yes and Echo & the Bunnymen".
[16] AllMusic described it as "the marker for goth rock's invasion of the U.K. charts for a good chunk of the late '80s".
[8] A remastered version appeared in June 2007 with four bonus tracks, including the original intro to "Love Me to Death" (previously available only on the "Wasteland" video-cd, and as a hidden track on the B-side of the 12" single release of "Severina") that had to be cut due to the time constraints of vinyl.
