Love and Other Disasters is the third album by Swedish heavy metal band Sonic Syndicate. It was released on September 19, 2008 and on October 14 in North America. In addition to the standard-edition album, a digipack version of the album was made available featuring two bonus tracks and a DVD. Since released in the United States, the album has sold around 800 copies in its first week to land on the Billboard Heatseekers chart at 85. Love and Other Disasters is the last album by the band to feature former singer Roland Johansson, and producer Jonas Kjellgren (although Kjellgren still did some work with the band besides production on their latest release). It is also the only album by the band to feature the same line-up as the preceding one.
On June 27, the lead single of the album called "Jack of Diamonds" was released to radio, the same day it was performed live for the first time on the Metaltown Festival in 2008. It has since spawned three other singles: "My Escape", "Power Shift", and "Contradiction". A 14th track entitled "Freeman" was also made but didn't make it to the album.
All songs credited to Sonic Syndicate, all lyrics written by Richard Sjunnesson (Daniel Zjiwago was un-credited for co-writing 'My Escape'), keys on My Escape, Contradiction and Fallout written by Nick Red (Jonas Kjellgren was un-credited for writing Power Shift)
The special edition of the album was reissued on November 6, 2009 together with the band's 2009 Rebellion EP, featuring two brand-new songs as well as the debut record with their new singer Nathan Biggs, replacing Roland Johansson.
