Emotional Remains is the eighth studio album by Richard Marx, released digitally on October 31, 2008, on Marx's website. Emotional Remains was released simultaneously with Sundown and was re-released exclusively through Amazon on September 22, 2009, with two new tracks.
Unlike his previous work that largely featured adult contemporary music, Emotional Remains had a "clear hard-rock edge" which Marx attributed to his frequent listening to bands like the Foo Fighters, Lifehouse, and Nickelback.
