Blind Love is the second studio album by Australian indie pop band Ratcat.[1][2] It was released on 20 May 1991. It was their most successful album and went to peak at No.1 in Australia.
It was nominated for Breakthrough Artist - Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 1992.[3]
Blind Love was given 3 out of 5 in a review by AllMusic.[4]
In The Sell-In, Craig Mathieson said the album, "lived up to Simon Day's belief in the disposability ethic. It spat out one buzzsaw, troublegum tune after another, delivered with punkish verve and given the sheen rooArt hoped for by producer Nick Mainsbridge. It sounded impossibly simple, but that's what distinguished it from the pack."[5]
