Greed is the second album by Ambitious Lovers, released in 1988 through Virgin Records. Naná Vasconcelos and John Zorn were among the album's many guest musicians.
Critical reception
The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "Lindsay and Scherer tame their clattering compositional talents just enough to create a series of attractively funky rock songs." The Washington Post deemed the album "samba-punk." The State determined that "songs like 'Copy Me', ' 'Privacy' and 'Love Overlap' are urban dance tunes that feature melodic choruses that seem especially smooth when sandwiched between steamy funk."
