Swan Songs was supposed to be released on the band's original label, MySpace Records in 2007, however it was postponed by the record label when they requested to have some of the songs removed and others censored. The band declined and switched labels to Octone which wouldn't require them to censor their songs.[3] The album peaked at #22 on the Billboard 200 and sold 21,000 copies on its debut week.[4] Swan Songs was released by Polydor Records on May 18, 2009 in the United Kingdom with two bonus tracks.[5] After 64 weeks, the album fell off of the Billboard Top 200, but returned four weeks later at #154. Swan Songs ended up spending 82 weeks in total on the Billboard 200 . In 2009, it was certified gold by the RIAA. As of April 2012, the album has sold 887,000 copies, and is approaching the Platinum sales mark.
The song "Undead" is featured in the video game Madden NFL 09.[2] The song "Young" is featured as downloadable content for Rock Band 2.[6] According to an e-mail sent out to fans from the official website April 4, 2011, the album has been re-released on iTunes as a Collector's Edition. This features all the tracks available on the original Swan Songs plus Swan Songs B-Sides EP, Swan Songs Rarities EP, and the Black Dahlia Remixes ep.

| Reception | 2>
Swan Songs received mostly mixed reviews. Dave Donnelly of Allmusic gave the album a 2 out of 5 stars, saying that the lyrics were uninteresting and that the album was "given over to ironic frat-boy party rap" (using the singles Everywhere I go and No. 5 as examples).[7]
