Men without hats devil come round
Love in the Age of War is the seventh studio album by Canadian new wave group Men Without Hats. Originally expected to be titled Folk of the 80s (Part IV), it was the first studio album by Men Without Hats in over eight years, and featured ten original songs written by Ivan Doroschuk. It is the only album to feature guitarist James Love before his replacement by Sho Murray in late 2016. It is also the only album to feature keyboardist Mark Olexson - he was replaced by Rachel Ashmore after the album was released.

The songs were written by Doroschuk "in the back of the bus" while touring in the summer of 2011 with The Human League, and were recorded from December 2011 to February 2012.
