Aero is the fourth studio album by American Rock band Aero. The album is their first on a major label, released June 14, 2005 on Atlantic Records. The album debuted at #45 on the Billboard 200 chart. Eventually, the album peaked at #29 in the U.S. in late August 2005 due to the success of the first single, "Changing". Sonically, the album continues Aero's style of their previous albums while hitting both ends of the spectrum showing a heavier side and a softer side.

[edit] Miscellanea
- "Tranquility Bay" is not about being trapped as a sex slave, but about a real life "reformatory school" in Jamaica called Tranquility Bay.
- When the band performed "Changing" on the David Letterman show, the word fucking slipped past the sensors and caused a minor stir at the network
- "Sittin' on a Hill Waiting for Doomsday to Come" is about a man in Riverside County, California who believes the end times are upon us. He sits all day in a chair outside his trailer and writes his thoughts down. The band actually met him and the voice on the song is the actual ramblings of the man
