Good Mourning is a twelve-song album by Alkaline Trio that was released in 2003 on Vagrant Records and produced by Joe McGrath. Jerry Finn co-produced and mixed the album (Finn had previously worked with AFI, Green Day and Blink-182). The album picks up where From Here to Infirmary left off. Matt Skiba, the band's frontman, has always said that the album did not flow well - Good Mourning received mostly positive reviews. Skiba began to write for the next album, Crimson, only weeks after Good Mourning's release.
