Common Courtesy (album)

Common Courtesy is the fifth studio album by American rock band A Day to Remember. The album was self-released on October 8, 2013. Songs for the album were written mid-2011, recording starting in early 2012 and continued into the following March, and the recordings were mixed the same month. During that time, an unmixed version of "Violence (Enough Is Enough)" was streamed from the band's website. The band then embarked on the Right Back at It Again Tour in March 2013, performing the new song "Right Back at It Again" at each show. From mid August to late September, the band released webisodes to tie-in with the album. The band performed "Dead & Buried", another song that would appear on the album, at each show on their month-long House Party Tour, which began in September 2013.

In December 2011, the band was involved in a lawsuit with its label Victory that had been partly resolved a few days before the album's release. This lawsuit led to the band's initial digital self-release of the album in October; a physical release followed in November and included three bonus tracks. Common Courtesy charted at number 34 in the UK and number 37 in the U.S., and was met with critical acclaim, with critics praising the album's sound. "Right Back at It Again" charted at number 33 on the Alternative Songs chart and at number 40 on the Mainstream Rock Songs chart in the U.S., while "End of Me" charted at number 40 on Alternative Songs and at number 26 on Mainstream Rock Songs.
