"We Are They Who Ache with Amorous Love" is a 1990 album by the rock group Half Japanese. The album includes six cover songs, one of which is "Gloria", originally by the band Them and famously covered by Patti Smith.
Two of the album's songs, "Titanic" and "Hand Without a Body", were co-written with Daniel Johnston. According to Trouser Press, the album features some impressive performances such as "The Titanic", "All of Me", "Three Rings", and "Secret".
However, the review also notes that a significant portion of the record is noisy and indulgent improvisation that may not be enjoyable for all listeners. On the other hand, Magnet considers the album to be one of the band's most accessible and listenable works.
Interestingly, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana included the album in his list of top 50 favorite albums, ranking it 37th.
