From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Underage Thinking is the 2006 official debut album by 17 year old singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger, released on March 21. Geiger wrote almost all the songs featured on the album himself. The album was produced by Billy Mann, Christopher Rojas and Paul Pimsler. All Music Guide commented the album as a "a slick, sincere collection of surging pop and sweet ballads that are enhanced considerably by Geiger's puppy-dog charm". In its first week in the charts, the album sold over 56,500 copies, enough to debut at #8 in the Billboard 200. The album has sold an impressive 360,000+ copies, and is yet to be certified. The first single released from the album, For You I Will (Confidence), which also appears on his Step Ladder EP, has been certified platinum according to Billboard.com.
A Japanese edition of the album was released on July 19, 2006, including the two bonus tracks "Do You Even Care" and "Hallelujah".
Geiger re-released on album on October 10, 2006.[1] The special edition includes a bonus DVD that includes the making of and final cuts for the music videos "For You I Will (Confidence)" and "These Walls". Plus home video of Teddy Geiger and a photo scrapbook is also be featured on the DVD. The album includes remixes of Geiger's latest singles, a newly recorded track, and some never-before-heard demos that he made before his mainstream success with Underage Thinking. The special edition was released in limited quantities and is only in select music stores.
