Since Army Of Lovers last CD (Ultimate Collection) on ForeFront Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. On the Canada charts, superstar Army Of Lovers’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Since completing 1995’s ‘Israelism’, Army Of Lovers fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Israelism and Hurrah, Hurrah, Apocalypse is really good.
Hurrah, Hurrah, Apocalypse is the albums biggest surprise. My Army Of Love - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. We Are The Universe is a striking and quite long song. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Excellent vocals and musical performances. Army Of Lovers is hitting on all cylinders in Shine Like A Star. Although Ride The Bullet is very melodic it is far from sad. It took me a little time but I ended up loving The Grand Fatigue. Love Me Like A Loaded Gun is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. La Plage De Saint Tropez is one of the best records ever. Sexual Revolution is the song that really did it for me. Dog is simple, dignified and effective, Army Of Lovers refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Vocals of Army Of Lovers in Life Fantastic really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. In Stand Up For My Self Army Of Lovers is at his best. Musically Shoot That Laserbeam is superior to other tracks in Ultimate Collection.
