專輯介紹：
在【教會】的專輯《上帝自己的藥物》（God's Own Medicine）中，開宗明義的第一首歌〈荒原〉（Wasteland）就嘲諷地唱出「我還是相信上帝，但是上帝已經不信仰我了。」這等堪稱冒瀆的宣言，呈現出駭人的事實：原來長久以來，
神與人的權力結構恰如性愛結構的主體與客體。在這張專集中，反覆推敲著在推翻信仰的同時，死亡不再是父神用以脅迫的道具，反而是叛徒的情色烏托邦。如同在〈愛我愛到死亡〉（Love Me to Death）一曲，美妙地鋪陳情慾的高峰不被僵硬的「主控-屈從」（dominance-submission）關係所固置；也就是說，在死亡（曠缺）的領域，致命的陰性激情並不受到掌管與壓制，發展出自己的美學。
最“哥德式”瞬間：專輯中孩子們的聲音，象是來自於Woodstock精神幼稚園，讓人感到恐懼。
The Mission樂隊成員給人的印象是一隊穿著工作服，戴著牛仔帽的北方佬，他們的作品總是讓人大吃一驚――從怪異的歌名到浮雕般的封套設計。這是樂隊的第二張專輯，由Led Zeppelin樂隊的John Paul Jones製作，在吵鬧和寧靜中保持著適當的平衡，儘管Wayne Hussey創作的成語般的歌詞不可能被任何國家用作建設的標語。
Derided by critics as pompous, melodramatic, and bombastic, the Mission, as they were known in their native U.K. (their name had to be changed in America owing to a Philadelphia R&B band with the same moniker), nonetheless attracted a core audience of goth rock fans. The Mission was formed in 1986 by guitarist/singer Wayne Hussey and bassist Craig Adams, who both left the Sisters Of Mercy to do so
(Hussey had also played with the Walkie Talkies and Dead or Alive.) The two recruited Artery guitarist Simon Hinkler and former Red lorry Yellow Lorry drummer Mick Brown and called themselves the Sisterhood, to which Sisters of Mercy leader Andrew Eldritch objected strenuously. The Mission released two successful independent singles in the U.K. and signed to Mercury in 1986.
The group soon completed its debut album, God's Own Medicine, which critics lambasted as ponderous and derivative of Led Zeppelin and Yes, but the album produced several U.K. hits anyway. The band toured extensively in the U.K. and America; Adams had to return home from the latter after suffering from exhaustion.
Produced by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, Children widened the band's audience, reaching number two on the U.K. album charts. 1990's Carved in Sand shed some of the Mission's Zep fascination for more refined songwriting. Hinkler left the band midway through the supporting tour and was eventually replaced permanently by Paul Etchells.
Meanwhile, several Mission members backed Slade members noddy Holder and Jim Lea on the Christmas charity single "Merry Xmas Everybody." By 1992, Hussey was the only original member left; following the 1994 Sum and Substance retrospective, he recorded the 1995 album Neverland with a new Mission lineup.
Blue followed a year later, with the greatest-hits retrospective Resurrection appearing in fall 1999. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
