Love Bomb is the seventh studio album by the Tubes, and their second to be produced by Todd Rundgren. It was released in 1985 on Capitol Records. It is the last major-label release by the Tubes.
Following the release of Love Bomb, the band broke up, with keyboardist Vince Welnick joining Rundgren's touring band, and eventually also drummer Prairie Prince. Rundgren would also record his own version of "Feel It" for his 1989 album Nearly Human, which also featured the two musicians.
The track, "Piece by Piece" was a minor hit single, peaking at No. 87 on the USA Billboard Hot 100 chart. A music video incorporating computer and stop motion animation was also made for the track.
