"Second Edition" of Jehvoahkill was released by Island Records, containing material from Julian H. Cope and the "Fear Loves This Place" single including the Dictaphone-recorded "Nothing". Critical receptionJehovahkill was well received by music critics. Cope biographer Mick Houghton reflected that some critics called it Cope's best album since Fried and "a deeply fascinating work," while Uncut said "it was arguably Cope’s biggest critical success."
