Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!
Template:Use dmy dates Script error: No such module "Unsubst-infobox". Template:Album ratings Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week! is the second studio album by Icelandic alternative rock band the Sugarcubes, released on 20 September 1989 through Elektra Records. A version of the album sung in Icelandic titled Illur Arfur! (English: Bad Legacy!) was released as well, with the same English track listing, under the name of Sykurmolarnir (Sugarcubes in Icelandic). The album reached number 70 on the US Billboard 200, number 15 on the UK Albums Chart and number one on the UK Indie Albums chart. The album was not as well received by critics as their critically acclaimed debut album, Life's Too Good, and was criticized for Einar's greater vocal contribution.[1][2]
The album spawned three singles: "Regina", which reached number two on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, "Tidal Wave" and "Planet". Music videos were released for all three singles, as well as "Eat the Menu".
The name of the album was inspired by Mr. Toad from the famous children's book The Wind in the Willows.[1]
