It was re-issued on Metropolis Records in the US on 6 May 2008. It is the second IAMX album to contain tracks intended for the aborted Sneaker Pimps album SP4. 2008 US editions differ significantly from the original 2006 version. Many of the songs were significantly re-recorded or remixed, most noticeably "The Negative Sex" and "Spit It Out", as well as "The Alternative", "Nightlife" and "Song of Imaginary Beings". "This Will Make You Love Again" is among a handful of songs to have been edited to include vocals by Janine Gezang. The re-released versions also include a string version of "Spit It Out" as a hidden track. The original album and the reissues also carry alternate covers. The album features several songs with lyrics by Sneaker Pimps member Liam Howe and lyrical co-writer for the same band, Ian Pickering, as well as lyrical collaborations with Sue Denim and a musical collaboration with Russian musician Igor Vdovin. Release and promotionThe Alternative was released on 28 April 2006 in Germany, Poland, Austria and Benelux countries. It was released in the UK the following year through record label No Carbon, and in the US in 2008 through Metropolis. "Nightlife" was used heavily in the promotion for the vampire film We Are the Night. It is also featured in a sequence in the film which features no dialogue but contains images set to the song. Reception{{album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = favourable[2] | rev2 = DIY | rev2score = {{rating|1|5}}[3] | rev3 = The Skinny | rev3score = {{rating|4|5}}[1] }}AllMusic's review was generally favourable, with reviewer Dave Shim describing it as "a stately blend of melancholic reverie and rugged post-industrial atmospheres".[2] The Skinny's Liam Arnold described it as "a raging piece of erotically charged, retro-futurist electro-pop. And it's bloody brilliant."[1] Track listing{{Track listing| all_music = Chris Corner, except where noted | title1 = President | length1 = 3:54 | title2 = The Alternative | length2 = 4:00 | title3 = Nightlife | lyrics3 = Corner, Sue Denim | length3 = 4:21 | title4 = Lulled by Numbers | lyrics4 = Ian Pickering | length4 = 4:01 | title5 = Song of Imaginary Beings | music5 = Corner, Liam Howe, Pickering | lyrics5 = Corner, Denim, Howe, Pickering | length5 = 4:27 | title6 = The Negative Sex | length6 = 3:08 | title7 = Bring Me Back a Dog | length7 = 3:23 | title8 = S.H.E | music8 = Corner, Igor Vdovin | length8 = 3:58 | title9 = Spit It Out | length9 = 3:34 | title10 = After Every Party I Die | lyrics10 = Corner, Howe, Pickering | length10 = 3:50 | title11 = This Will Make You Love Again | lyrics11 = Corner, Pickering | length11 = 4:39 }}{{track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = 2008 reissue bonus track | title12 = Spit It Out (String Version) | length12 = 5:52 }} Charts
