Tip

Tip is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Finger Eleven, and the first under their new name, released in 1997. It departed from the funk-influenced sound of the 1995 album Letters from Chutney under the previous band name, Rainbow Butt Monkeys, in favor of a darker, heavier sound influenced by Tool. While responses to Tip were initially muted, compounded by Finger Eleven being dropped by their record label, the album was critically acclaimed and became a modest success with consumers upon its September 1998 re-release by Wind-up Records. Tip paved the way for Finger Eleven's mainstream breakthrough with The Greyest of Blue Skies in 2000. The album was certified Gold by Music Canada in 2014. It is the only Finger Eleven album to feature drummer Rob Gommerman as he departed the band shortly after the album's release.
