It was the final album to feature the original 3 piece line-up, as drummer Fyfe Ewing departed in January 1996 following the European leg of the Infernal Love tour.

Suicide Pact — You First was the fifth full length album by the band Therapy?, and the first to be released by their third record company Ark21, following the demise of the band's previous label. It was released on October 18, 1999 and recorded at Great Linford Manor in Milton Keynes from July 13 to August 15, 1999.
The album was a move away from the pop sensibilities of their previous album, Semi-Detached, and was considered a dark and twisted effort, seemingly as a retort to the conditions and restrictions imposed upon them and other bands on major labels. Although the album garnered very little radio airplay, and only reached number 61 in the UK Albums Chart, it received very positive reviews in the press and still rates very highly among Therapy? fans. The live shows accompanying the album's release are regarded by the band as "unforgettable".
The US released limited edition CDROM included the video of "Little Tongues First".
The album was released on CD only.

"Shameless" is considered by the band to be a straightforward punk rock ’n’ roll album with more ‘tunes’ than previous album Suicide Pact - You First, and reflects the no-nonsense trash-rock that they were listening to at the time. It was also the final album to feature drummer Graham Hopkins, who departed in December 2001. The limited edition CDROM included a live video of "Gimme Back My Brain", recorded at the Visions magazine party in Dortmund in June 2001. The album reached number 196 in the UK Albums Chart.

One Cure Fits All, was the ninth full-length album by the band Therapy?, and the third and final to be released on Spitfire Records. It was released on April 24, 2006. The album was recorded in January 2006 at Jacobs Studios, Surrey. The album was not released in North America, but charted at number 152 in the UK Albums Chart.
Produced by Pedro Ferreira (who also produced The Darkness album Permission to Land), the album features markedly polished production, similar to their major label years. This met with a mixed reaction upon its release by fans of the band. The material itself varies, with songs like "Walk through Darkness" and "Dopamine, Serotonin, Adrenaline" displaying anthemic tendencies, while the like of "Unconsoled" and "Private Nobody" are in keeping with the familiar themes of isolation and alienation.
The album was released on CD and Download.

The album features five different performances by Therapy?, which were recorded between 1991 and 1998 for BBC radio. It includes unique and exclusive versions of some of their greatest hits, alongside live favourites and three previously unreleased tracks: Pile Of Bricks, The Sweeney and Lost Highway (originally by Hank Williams).
(Aside from the first John Peel Session, the band were on A&M Records when all the featured sessions were recorded, but A&M have since been taken over by Universal Records; hence the release via Universal Records.)
"It's very flattering to be in the first batch of artists to have these old sessions made available in their entirety especially in a digital download format. Having existed as scraps on C-90's or as half-forgotten memories, it's brilliant to be able to re-visit so many unique (and one-off) performances and let people see what all the fuss was about..." Michael McKeegan - Therapy?
