MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide

Permanent Damage is the fifth and final album by The Icicle Works. The album was released in 1990.

Critical reception

The Quietus called the album a collection of "more straightforward classic rock songs ... an unimaginative set." The Rough Guide to Rock called it a "somewhat desperate set redeemed by the excellent single 'Motorcycle Rider.'" MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide wrote that it tended "to be uninspired and samey."
