Love Is Dead is an album by the Berkeley, California punk rock band The Mr. T Experience, released in 1996 by Lookout! Records. It was the band's second album as a three-piece, and the first with bassist Joel Reader and drummer Jim "Jym" Pittman, replacing Aaron Rubin and Alex Laipeneiks, respectively, who had departed the group the previous year.
The song "I Just Wanna Do it With You" was used in the soundtrack to the 1996 movie Glory Daze, and was included on the film's soundtrack album.




Critical reception


Trouser Press called the release "a wonderful album," writing that "Dr. Frank and a half-new rhythm section fill Love Is Dead with nothing but loud, catchy and lovable singalongs, roaringly produced by [Kevin] Army as if he were erecting the sonic safety barrier around a particularly dangerous radioactive dumpsite." Metroactive called it "the year's can't-miss record, an addictive tome about self-loathing."
In an appreciation published in 2004, Stylus Magazine wrote that the album "is easily the finest work of the second wave of US punk, and arguably one of the finest Stateside three-chord racket albums ever dropped on wax."
