Studio album

Massive Luxury Overdose is Army of Lovers' second studio album. It's AoL's most successfull album by selling more than 5 million copies worldwide. The album was released in 1991 and contains some of the bands biggest hits, including Obsession and Crucified, which was # 1 smash hit in Finland and Belgium. The album also included Ride the Bullet, which was used as a track on their previous album Disco Extravaganza / Army of Lovers.

When La Camilla left the band in 1991, right after the second single of the album (Obsession), she was replaced by Michaela Dornonville de la Cour. The band was about to release the album in the USA (1992), so they recorded four new songs and released the album under the same name (but with a new cover, introducing Michaela as such). The US Edition lacks Supernatural and My Army Of Lovers.
