Symptoms is the seventh full-length studio album by Israeli punk band Useless ID. It was released on February 14, 2012, and is the band's first album on Fat Wreck Chords.[1][2] It was released almost 4 years after the band's previous album, The Lost Broken Bones, marking the longest gap between two Useless ID albums, although the band released a collaboration album with rapper Muki in 2010.

It is the third album the band recorded at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado, with producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore, and the band's last album with drummer Jonathan Harpak, who left the band shortly after the release.

On January 10, 2012, the song "Before It Kills" was released as the first official single, through the Fat Wreck Chords website.[3] On February 6, 2012, the song "Fear in the Mirror" was streamed for free on the Ground Control music blog.[4] On February 7, 2012, the song "New Misery" was streamed for free on the Alternative Press official website. The song features guest vocals from Punchline's Steve Soboslai.[5] The album's release show took place on March 8, 2012, at the Sublime club in Tel Aviv, supported by Jerusalem based punk rock band Man Alive.
