Nightmerica was released March 21, 2006. Corey Apar of Allmusic called it “way more interesting than their fake horror film façade would suggest … Love Equals Death is really more like a multifaceted version of a late-’90s skate punk band … promising and refreshing in its mix of old and new sounds, Nightmerica is a breath of fresh air among the ironic screamo bands of the world.” Chris Moran of Punknews.org complemented the range of Travis’ vocals and the musicianship as “extremely tight”, but felt that the songs went in too many musical directions to give the band a firm identity: “This record is just all over the map. One minute we’ve got some Goth Bay hardcore, the next we’ve got Morrissey … Nightmerica has some really good songs. But the album itself lacks direction and seems almost rushed … there’s just too much going on for one album. Especially from a band that many are not too familiar with.” Both reviewers likened Nightmerica to the first four albums by AFI .
