Renaissance is an album by the Village People. After the downfall of disco, the group tried to transition into a New Wave group, hence the name of the album and the absence of the costumes that made them famous. The attempt failed commercially and critically as most were turned off by the harsh change in direction; one critic insisted that the album "should have never been released."[1] The album peaked at #138 on The Billboard 200.[citation needed] However, the album did find a cult fanbase years later. Many fans[who?] thought of the album to be an abstract, intriguing work. The standout tracks are the two singles, "Do You Wanna Spend The Night" and "5 O'Clock In The Morning." This album was reissued to CD in 1999.[citation needed]
The album's artwork has found popularity as an Internet meme as one of the worst album covers of all time.
