Love at the End of the World, Sam Roberts' third full-length album, came out in Canada on May 20, 2008, before rolling out to the Netherlands, the UK and, in February 2009, the United States. It went straight in at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, moving 9,000 copies in its first week, went gold that November and took the 2009 Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year.
The music backs up the hardware: big, rangy rock with a swaggering groove, fuzzed-up guitars and Roberts' easygoing voice selling the choruses. "Them Kids," "Fixed to Ruin" and "Detroit '67" all made the countdowns. The cover art is based on an illustration by Elisabeth Moch.
