The Skinny

in•ter a•li•a is the fourth and final studio album by At the Drive-In, released on May 5, 2017 on Rise and Transgressive. Produced by guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López and Rich Costey, it was the band's first studio album in seventeen years, following the release of Relationship of Command (2000) and their initial break-up in 2001.

Recorded at Sound Factory, Hollywood during the band's 2016 reunion, in•ter a•li•a is the band's only studio album to feature guitarist Keeley Davis, who replaced founding member Jim Ward during its 2016–2018 reunion. As a result, the album is the first band's first release since El Gran Orgo (1997) not to feature Ward, who declined to participate in the band's second reunion.

Preceded by the singles, "Governed by Contagions", "Incurably Innocent" and "Hostage Stamps", the album debuted at number thirty-nine on the Billboard Albums Chart and number thirty on the UK Albums Chart. The album's title is a variation on the Latin phrase "inter alia" which means "among other things". The cover artwork, including the lyric music videos for the singles "Governed by Contagions" and "Incurably Innocent", were illustrated by Damon Locks, who had previously created the artwork for Relationship of Command.
