      • Love and Other Disasters is the third album by Swedish heavy metal band Sonic Syndicate. It was released on 19 September 2008 and on 14 October in North America. A digipack version of the album was made available featuring two bonus tracks and a DVD. In the United States, the album sold around 800 copies in its first week; landing it 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 the last to be produced by Jonas Kjellgren. It is also the only album by the band to feature the same line-up as the preceding one.
      On 27 June 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. Two other singles were also released: "My Escape" and "Power Shift". A 14th track titled "Freeman" was also made but it was never officially released.
