Massive Luxury Overdose is the second studio album by the Swedish pop group Army of Lovers. The album was released in 1991 and contains some of the band's biggest hits, including "Obsession" and "Crucified", which was a #1 hit in 29 countries.^[2] The album also includes "Ride the Bullet," which was previously featured on their first album Disco Extravaganza in 1990. "Ride the Bullet" peaked at #6 in Finland while "Obsession" reached #5.

When La Camilla left the band in 1991, she was replaced by Michaela Dornonville de la Cour. For the US release in 1992, the band recorded four new songs and released the album under the same name but with a new cover, introducing Michaela as such. The US edition does not contain the tracks "Supernatural" or "My Army of Lovers".

Army of Lovers made their first tour in March 1992 and at that time the album had already sold over 500,000 copies. The tour began in Sweden, at High Chaparral in Kulltorp, and after several Swedish cities the tour continued throughout Europe.^[3]

In Sweden, Massive Luxury Overdose sold about 70,000 copies, and worldwide the album sold at least 2 million copies.^[4]
