We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy is the fifth LP by Orange County ska/punk legends, Reel Big Fish. The follow up the the band's moderately successful Cheer Up, We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy was released on April 5, 2005 on Mojo Records. Songs such as "Don't Start a Band", "One Hit Wonderful" and "Your Guts (I Hate Em)", show that Reel Big Fish haven't lost their keen sense of dark humor which was found on their earlier works.

The band has been known to consider this album part three in a story which their albums tell. Part one took place during Turn the Radio Off, the band's breakthrough album. In that part of the story, a band had finally gotten signed and made it big time. The second part of the story is told on Why Do They Rock So Hard, in which the band is now at the top and the only place they can go is downhill. This chapter of the story is of the band once they leave the spotlight. They are filled with hate and anger, especially towards the music industry.

The album includes covers of Tracy Chapman's Talkin' Bout a Revolution, Morrisey's We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful and Social Distortion's Story of My Life. Both the Chapman cover and the Social D cover were chosen as the first and second singles respectively.
