Love Is Dead is an album by the Berkeley, California punk rock band The Mr. T Experience, released in 1996 by Lookout!

[5] 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.

[citation needed] 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.

"[7] Metroactive called it "the year's can't-miss record, an addictive tome about self-loathing.

"[8] 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.
