Worse for the Wear is the third album by The New Amsterdams, released in 2003 on Vagrant Records.

This is the first New Amsterdams album to have a full band, as the previous albums have always been primarily solo material from the lead singer Matt Pryor as a side project from The Get Up Kids.

It was recorded over the course of three months at the Red House Studios in Eudora, Kansas.

The 3rd episode of One Tree Hill, Season One, was named after 'Are You True?'.

All tracks are written by The New Amsterdams"With its touches of banjo, flashes of wry humor, and more sprightly tempos [...] Worse for the Wear is the most relaxed-sounding and brightest New Amsterdams record yet, and with songs as catchy as "The Spoils of the Spoiled," and the oddly '70s rock piano-based tune, "From California," the New Amsterdams are in danger of taking over from the Get Up Kids as Pryor's most interesting and memorable band.
