Fat Wreck Chords released "The Unraveling" on April 24, 2001, in the United States on CD and LP formats; the original 2001 CD pressing is currently out of print. It failed to reach any major music chart, and did not produce a single. Since the album's release, some of its songs have been featured in compilation albums and other media. An acoustic rendition of "Everchanging" was included on the "Warped Tour 2006 Tour Compilation" and the European track listing of the 2007 extended play "This Is Noise". "The Art of Losing" and "My Life Inside Your Heart" were to be used in the unreleased video game "Propeller Arena".
