The Love Of Hopeless Causes  by New Model Army

Nine years after their first discographic work, New Model Army present their sixth studio album in March 1993. The album is called The Love Of Hopeless Causes and is considered among the very good works of the band from Bradford, England. New Model Army released the album through Epic Records, having parted ways with EMI. The album's producer was primarily the American Niko Bolas, while the name Bob Clearmountain is encountered in the sound mix.

The ten songs on the album are compositions by Justin Sullivan or products of collaboration between Sullivan and the band's drummer, Robert Heaton. The musical style of The Love Of Hopeless Causes has noticeably changed compared to the group's two previous albums. The folk-rock has receded, and the album's sound clearly leans towards rock. This becomes apparent right from the onset with the onslaught called Here Comes The War, the album's opening song and its one and only single, which reached No. 25 in the United Kingdom.

A month after its release, the album reached No. 22 on the UK's chart, while it also reached No. 27 in Germany.
