This album,The Martyr Mantras,is excellent.It is a total change for the 'average' Boy George. I love the man and this is an outstanding record.Tracks such as 'generations of love' & 'love hurts' are breath - taking!. I recommend this album to every boy fan, and music lover.

This album was released in 1991 in the US under Boy George, The Martyr Mantras, under the Virgin America label. That was a shame, since I also hold the original version as well, which came out in 1990 under not Boy George, but Jesus Loves You--- The Martyr Mantras, under George's own label, More Protein. Just count on Boy George to name a group like that. And I love him for it. The album is so deep and powerful, it's hard to believe it was not commercial universally. "Generations of Love", "One On One", and "Loves Gonna Let You Down" are dark and powerful messages from George. They even make you think about life. The song that even makes you think more is "After the Love". It is brilliant, just brilliant. The best song, and it can be so true in all of us is the masterpiece "I Specialize In Loneliness". We also get to her Amos's, (AKA Captain Crucial's) voice in the background in moments of the song. Boy George dominates the world with this tune. You will agree after hearing it. Thanks for reading.

Some of Boy George's best work is featured on this album! Fans of George would know that Jesus Loves You was his venture into hardcore house music and he succeeds in ways many couldn't. Dance music with depth and lyrics as only Boy George could! His personal style of song writing, for me, is unchallenged! A true genius! He has since reinvented reggae (again!), rock, pop, house and rap not to mention musical theatre. A karma chameleon indeed. Stand out tracks include "I Specialise In Loneliness" (the only ballad on this CD), "Siempre Te Amare", "Loves Gonna Let You Down" plus the singles "Bow Down Mister", "Generations Of Love" and "After the Love". Boy George - I salute you!
