In the Name of Progress

In the Name of Progress is the only studio album by American Emo band Fingertight.
== Background and Production ==
After the band built up some hype with their music through word of mouth, Fingertight would eventually score a record deal with Columbia Records in 2001. For the next two years, they would conceptualize the sound of the album, and start recording it by 2003. It would be released on September 2, 2003.
The overall sound of the album is Emo and Post-Hardcore with Post-Grunge elements.
== Title and Artwork ==
The title of the album is most likely a reference of the idea of moving social progress so far that it becomes detrimental to human society, and pushing technological achievements "In the Name of Progress."
The album cover features a giant red robot with a television and paint roller in front of a mural of a city.
