The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (album)

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is the debut album by pop punk/post-hardcore band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, recorded and released about two years before their first major-label CD release Don't You Fake It.

Note: Many of these songs were featured on their major album, Don't You Fake It. "The Acoustic Song" is an acoustic version of "Your Guardian Angel", and "Ass Shaker" is a slightly different version of "In Fate's Hands". An altered version of "The Grim Goodbye" is featured on Don't You Fake It as a hidden track, and "Disconnected" is a bonus track only on the Don't You Fake It (Deluxe Edition). The screaming in "Face Down" is removed and the final chorus is slightly changed in this version. "Cat and Mouse" and "Justify" are also featured on Don't You Fake It, albeit in re-recorded, differently-instrumentated versions.
