The Wombats Proudly Present. A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation is the debut studio album by British rock band The Wombats.It was released on 5 November 2007 on 14th Floor Records.

The growing trend in post-millennial Brit-pop bands seems to favor embracing the style's inherent disposability. Rather than going for a Damon Albarn-like arc of stylistic exploration, more and more U.K. bands are shooting for that one great three-minute pop single that overshadows everything else they will ever do: the Kaiser Chiefs' 'I Predict a Riot,' Dogs Die in Hot Cars' 'I Love You 'Cause I Have To,' the Fratellis' 'Flathead,' Little Man Tate's 'Man, I Hate Your Band,' et-bloody-cetera. In the case of the Wombats, the three-minutes pop single in question is 'Let's Dance to Joy Division,' a genuinely swell bit of tongue in cheek new wave revivalism that's by far the best part of the Liverpool trio's debut album. In the tradition of fellow Scousers the Scaffold or Half Man Half Biscuit, there's a heavy dose of humor to the Wombats, who started out as much an improv comedy/performance art act as they were a pop band. Indeed, the album starts with the nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is doo wop pastiche 'Tales of Girls, Boys and Marsupials' before righting itself with the spunky pop-punk of 'Kill the Director.' Jokey material like the herky-jerky ode to schoolboy crushes 'School Uniforms' and the self-consciously smutty tale of unrequited love 'Patricia the Stripper' lowers the overall tone. It's not that there's anything wrong with humor in music -- Madness, one of the Wombats' most obvious touchstones, wrote some hilarious songs -- it's just that the funny songs are neither particularly side-splitting nor particularly tuneful. Songs like 'Backfire at the Disco' balance the yuks with catchier melodies and less of a sense that these guys are one step away from putting on moose-antler hats and giant sunglasses. The Wombats may surprise us all and turn out to be a band for the ages (did anyone really think Beck would turn out to be one of the great songwriters of his generation the first time they heard 'Loser'?), but the just-for-a-larf vibe of A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation suggests otherwise.

The Wombats Proudly Present.. A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation is the international debut studio album by British rock band The Wombats. It was released on 5 November 2007 on 14th Floor Records.[2] Most of the songs first appeared on the 2006 Japan-only release, Girls, Boys and Marsupials. A DVD to accompany the album includes footage of them at the South by Southwest festival along with music videos from the band's recent singles. The album was recorded at the Rockfield Studios. The album managed to reach #11 in the UK Albums Chart. On the single for 'Let's Dance to Joy Division', there is a B-side of 'Derail and Crash' and a hidden track of the Fireman Sam theme song played by the band.

The album contains a pregap before track 1, which contains the band attempting to make wine glasses 'ring' and extolling the virtues of beaujolais. It ends with them doing a faux advert for beaujolais: 'Every day's a beau day when you drink.. Beau-Jolais. *clink, slurp* Ahhh.. Beau-jolais!' Jolais is also a name, used by Joanna Hall in 2002.

The album had sold 335,361 copies in the UK as of April 2015.[12]
