The Gods of Earth and Heaven

In his review of the single "I Am", Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Kitschy Swedish disco/pop act returns with a record that is a lot more sonically subtle than past efforts, though biting and humorous lyrics remain a primary element." In his review of the album, Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Myriad Influences — opera, cabaret, Hi-NRG, classical, pop and rap to name but a few — collide in a way that will endear few on The Gods of Earth and Heaven. The camp Swedish-based group's single "Israelism" has attracted some attention, but this album you order at your peril." Stephen Dalton from NME compared Army of Lovers with ABBA, saying, "Tabernacle choirs, string quartets, folk music maestros and even an entire orchestra: meticulous attention to detail which almost qualifies this Stockholm-based foursome as — whisper quietly — the new Abba. [...] Army of Lovers are Doctor Zhivago set to a relentless disco beat, a bawdy historical romp stuffed with futuristic techno slammers and throbbing rude bits. Abba on drugs with their knobs out, basically." ==Track listing==
