Almost Here

"Almost Here" is the first full-length studio album by American rock band The Academy Is..., released on February 8, 2005 by Fueled by Ramen. The album debuted at #20 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart, as well as at #24 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. It also charted at #185 on The Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart. The album spawned three singles: "Checkmarks", "Slow Down" (often incorrectly referred to as "Hollywood Hills"), which was chosen through an online poll on the band's website, and "The Phrase That Pays". "Classifieds" was an intended single from the album and a video was made for the song. For unknown reasons, this video was never released, but the video's director posted it on YouTube.
