Cum Laude! is the third studio album by The Velvet Teen. It was first released in Japan on June 28, 2006 (featuring three bonus tracks), and in the US on July 25, 2006. It was preceded by the GyzmKid EP on May 9, 2006. This is the first album recorded with drummer Casey Deitz after the departure of original drummer Logan Whitehurst, and features a more IDM-influenced noise rock sound as opposed to the baroque pop of previous album, Elysium.
