Remains is a 2007 compilation album by American punk band Alkaline Trio, collecting B-sides, rarities, and unreleased tracks from 2000 to 2006. It is their second such compilation, following Alkaline Trio, which collected tracks from 1996 to 1999.




Contents


The album is a collection of 22 tracks that the band has recorded for various compilations, EPs, B-sides and international releases. The disc also includes three new live tracks from a 2006 concert at Avalon in Los Angeles. Vocalist/guitarist, Matt Skiba describes the collection as "an unintentional sort of bookend for our career thus far." A DVD that includes 45 minutes of material, including all the band's videos from From Here to Infirmary, Good Mourning, and Crimson, accompanies the disc. Included is exclusive B-roll and behind-the-scenes footage from the band's live shows.




Release and reception



On November 6, 2006, Remains was announced for release. The band explained: "...in the midst of the torrent of recording albums and touring to support them -- we will book into a studio and record some more... These truly are the remains of the last half-decade." On December 31, the band posted an e-card, which contained "We Can Never Break Up" and "Hell Yes" available for streaming. It was released on January 31, 2007, through Vagrant. On February 6, a music video was released for "Warbrain". The video includes live footage of the band from a New Year's Eve show. The album peaked at #64 on Billboard 200. By August 2008, the album sold 60,000 copies. A vinyl repressing of the album was released through Newbury Comics on February 3, 2023, and was limited to 500 copies.

On Valentine's Day 2007, the band posted a bulletin on their MySpace giving a downloadable template and cipher.
When printed and aligned correctly with the booklet in the Remains album, the template gave a user name and a password.
When the cipher was deciphered, it gave a web address to go to.
This website contained a downloadable album and cover file.
The cipher and template accessible to Blood Pact members was different from those of the general public.
