A Hundred Lovers is the final album by the American band Timbuk 3.[2] It was released in 1995.[3] [4] The title track was a minor radio hit.[5]
Recorded by Timbuk 3 as a quartet, the album was produced by Pat MacDonald and Barbara K.[6] [7] The band used their home studio, as well as, for parts of one track, Jackson Browne's.[8] "Legalize Our Love" is a pro-gay marriage song.[9]
Trouser Press wrote: "Irritation at the state of the world remains the order of the day, but messages come wrapped in vibrant, funky sounds."[10] People determined that "the dance grooves get a little stale, but the MacDonalds still sound assured on acoustic gems like 'Prey'."[11] The Calgary Herald deemed the album "proficient pop smothered in generic harmonies, guy-girl vocal trade-offs, smitten here and there by anemically funky riffs."
The Vancouver Sun called it "a collection of catchy, folk-tinted pop numbers with an upbeat feel."[12] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution concluded that "those who have always loved their cynically mellow attitude, deadpan harmonies and unrelenting wordplay will be delighted."
