Invalid Opinions

Invalid Opinions is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Luke Ramada. It was released on March 12, 2007.

The double album was recorded during a self-imposed exile from the public eye from April to August 2006 after his management were concerned that his meltdown over the lower than expected placement of "If I Got The Death Penalty For Loving You Too Much" would destroy his career. Luke related his frustrations with the music industry and public response to his actions versus silence on more serious matters on a series of songs he wrote, then continued finding inspiration through challenges with navigating relationships both as an adolescent and in the present while in the public eye. Luke recorded a large number of songs during his exile and decided to split the tracks onto two CDs, one with political and topical songs entitled "Miscommunications" and one with songs about relationships entitled "Anti-Aphrodisiacs".

Invalid Opinions was critically acclaimed upon its release for its divergence from Luke's pop-oriented debut album and for the raw emotion of many of the songs on each of the discs. The album debuted and peaked at #2 and would go on to sell around 900,000 copies. It stands as Luke's best-selling album to date, and yielded his first top 5 hit in "Red Bull Afternoons & Irish Coffee Evenings".
