Releases
In August 2002, Iodine Recordings released Your Favorite Weapon on vinyl along with an extra track, "...My Nine Rides Shotgun", a song from the band's early days. This is also available as a bonus track on the Japanese release of the album. This vinyl pressing was done on black, clear, white and blue vinyl, and is exceedingly rare. The few copies that do surface online tend to sell at prices near $200.
The band also stated on numerous occasions that they were not entirely happy with the recordings of the songs, and in 2002, re-recorded "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad" and released it for free on MP3.com.
The album was released in the UK on March 17, 2003, by Eat Sleep Records, followed shortly by the single "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad", released on CD and 7" vinyl, two and a half months later on June 2, 2003. "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad" had also previously been made into a music video.
On February 9, 2004, Your Favorite Weapon finally made its way to Australia, being released on Below Par Records. The first 500 copies sold, pre-ordered through Below Par Records, included an exclusive tour DVD as an added bonus.
On November 29, 2011, Triple Crown records released a 10th anniversary deluxe edition of Your Favorite Weapon, with seven early demos as bonus tracks and new cover art. A vinyl release followed on December 6th. The vinyl reissue was pressed on black, clear, white and blue vinyl, mimicking the original release.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
