Swingin' with Raymond is the seventh studio album by anarchist punk band Chumbawamba.

The first half (tracks 1–6), entitled "Love It", features soft, sweet folk-styled songs in an optimistic, romantic (yet still ironic) vein, sung by Lou Watts and featuring acoustic guitars and violin. The second half (tracks 7–13), entitled the "Hate It", is devoted to anger, loudness, noise and raw emotion, featuring the other vocalists, faster rhythms, trumpet and loud guitars. This was complemented by a man on the album cover with "LOVE" and "HATE" tattooed on his knuckles. Some versions even featured two separate CDs, one for each part.
