Love and Fear is the ninth studio album by Australian rock musician, Jimmy Barnes.

[1] Love and Fear purged a lot of demons that had been plaguing Barnes for many years.

He confronted issues that he had avoided by being on tour and by drinking and taking drugs.

[2] Although receiving lukewarm commercial and critical reception at the time of its release, Love and Fear has grown in stature over the ensuing decade and is now one of Barnes' most highly regarded albums.

[3] "Love and Hate" and "Thankful for the Rain" were released as singles, but both charted outside the top 50.
