Loverama is the fifth studio album by the Australian band Custard. It was released in June 1999 and peaked at number 19 on the ARIA Charts; the band's highest charting album.

Loverama was the band's final release for 16 years, until 2015's Come Back, All Is Forgiven. Some copies came as a two-CD set, with the companion disc called Custaro Musico.

"Girls Like That (Don't Go For Guys Like Us)", "Ringo (I feel Like...)" and "Hit Song" all featured in a Hottest 100, with Girls... in 1998^[2] and the other two in 1999.^[3]

Reception

Rolling Stone Australia at the time of release said, it was noted that the album was less "zany" and more dance-oriented than previous releases, though the "puerile song titles and cock-eyed world view remain." Overall, the album was described as, "top-heavy with infectious ditties."^[4]

They also named it the 94th best Australian album in 2021, saying, "Ever-beloved by the alt-rock scene for their quirky style, eccentric compositions, and endearing personalities, Loverama gave the wider public an insight into what had made Custard firm favourites for a decade by that point. Fittingly though, Loverama would end up serving as the group's swansong, with Custard announcing their initial split the following year."^[5]
