The album provided a number of internationally charting singles including "Walking on a Dream" which peaked at number ten on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and reached number sixty four on the UK Singles Chart, and "We Are the People", which peaked at number fourteen on the UK Singles Chart.
Against Nature (album) Against Nature was the debut album from Fatima Mansions. It was released in September 1989, receiving almost universal critical acclaim, described by "NME" as "staggering in its weight of ideas...never loses its capacity to suddenly stun you", and also described as "a startlingly well-rounded debut". A review from "Allmusic" stated "Coughlan's lyrics are similarly aggressive throughout, with actions of overt and implicit violence in nearly every song and a grouchily misanthropic, almost nihilistic lyrical world-view throughout".
