Day Of Wine and Roses

Day of Wine and Roses is an unfinished, unreleased album by the American rock band The Infection recorded between late 1998 and mid-1999 that was intended to follow the 1997 album Traffic Jam. It was to be a rock opera that expressed songwriters SpongeBob and Sandy's impressions about horror and suspense. By the end of 1998, after finishing up with the Traffic Jam Tour. Recording sessions began for the album with Yolandi joining for the first time and Patrick returning since 1996.

Work for the album was finished around June 1999 and was scheduled to be released for a August 17th, 1999 date but once it was announced a month later in July, the album was later abandoned because of SpongeBob's disagreement over some of the songs being "too dark" for teens. After this, the band would go on to create demos for Disparate Realms which would include Transgressions. Several singles would be released for the unfinished album.

As of 2021, The album only has 100 copies available with one of those copies being another copy that contained some demos from Disparate Realms, and can be available for download on various websites.

The song "Resistance" was also planned to be on Sandy Cheeks' solo album Lost & Found as well, but those plans were later sheleved. "Defying Gravity" would later be re-recorded on The Anime Album.
