The Final Curtain is a compilation album and DVD by the Pompano Beach, Florida rock band Further Seems Forever, released in 2007 by 567 Records (formerly Undecided Records). The album includes the band's final live performance recorded on June 17, 2006 at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as several rare and previously unreleased songs. The DVD contains video of the final performance, a band interview, photo gallery, and behind the scenes footage.

The album's bonus tracks comprise both the most recent and earliest eras of the band. Tracks 12-15 are outtakes from the band's 2004 album Hide Nothing, recorded with lead singer Jon Bunch. "Pagan Poetry" is a previously unreleased cover of a song by Björk, while the acoustic tracks were originally released as bonus tracks on Best Buy versions of the album. Tracks 16-20 comprise the band's earliest recordings from 1999, when Chris Carrabba was the group's lead singer. These are the complete recording sessions for the band's debut EP From the 27th State, on which these demo versions of "The Bradley" and "New Year's Project" appeared along with "Justice Prevails." The versions of "Just Until Sundown," and "Pictures of Shorelines" included on this compilation are previously unreleased.
