Last Stop Suburbia

Recording

The band planned to enter the studio in December. The band was in the studio from February 18, 2002 and planned to finish on March 18. Instead, the band finished recording on May 9.

Release and reception

Originally planned for a June release, before being pushed back to August, then early September due mixing delays. Between late June and mid-August, the group went on the 2002 edition of Warped Tour. Last Stop Suburbia was eventually released on October 8, 2002 through Drive-Thru.

Last Stop Suburbia charted at number 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. The album would go on to sell 80,000 copies. Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Kurt Morris said the album was full of "upbeat, poppy songs" matched with "nice melodies and songs about girls and rock & roll." Morris also said it was "typical Drive-Thru Records pop-punk" fodder. BuzzFeed included the album at number 30 on their "36 Pop Punk Albums You Need To Hear Before You F——ing Die" list.
