Finger Eleven is the third studio album by the Canadian rock band Finger Eleven from Burlington, Ontario. The sounds on this album range from grunge and prog-rock to Electric Six-style disco metal.[3] Because of its commercial success, they were welcomed to the SnoCore 2004 tour. "One Thing" became the biggest single from this record, reaching 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[4] It was also played consistently on rock radio and MTV.[5] Some of the songs have been featured in various EA games including "Stay in Shadow" (Burnout 3) and "Good Times" (SSX3). In a similar vein, "Other Light", "Conversations", and "Good Times" have all appeared in the GameCube game 1080° Avalanche.

During the recording of this album, there were rumors of the band breaking up. Finger Eleven then posted a cell-phone number for fans to call at any point, twenty-four hours a day, to talk to anyone in the group.[6]

There was a limited edition version of the CD, which came with a bonus DVD featuring the "Good Times" music video, studio footage, and a live concert video.
