Background
Under the Tray was written and recorded in the years following the band's previous release Promotional Copy, mostly while James Dewees was on tour with The Get Up Kids. The album was released on Vagrant Records in February 2003. The album sold rather well, reaching No. 15 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and No. 8 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. The song "Congratulations Smack and Katy" was featured in the video game Burnout 3: Takedown.[3]
Packaging
Under the Tray is named as such because the packaging contained an opaque black tray made to hold a CD. However, the discs were packed underneath the tray, giving the appearance upon opening that there was no disc in the package, prompting numerous complaints with retailers carrying the album. Later pressings included an illustration showing where the CD is.
The vinyl pressing of this album is titled Inside the Dust Sleeve...
