"...Heaven Tonight was stocked from start to finish with great songs, great performances and a great sonic charge. Songs about love, death, life, sex, suicide, weird parents and drugs made up the LP. And any album that kicks off with "Surrender" has a head start to greatness. It's lyrically brilliant and musically unforgettable. Nielsen came up with a genuine classic in "Surrender" that has lost none of its punch decades later."
