Axiomatic is the third studio album by Australian rock band Taxiride, released in September, 2005. Three singles were taken from this album, “Oh Yeah” (Which peaked at number 40 in the Aria chart), “You Gotta Help Me” and “What Can I Say”. Taxiride made it clear in interviews leading up to the release of this album that they would be breaking away from the pop-rock sound of their two previous albums, and adopting a more hard-rock feel. The first single "Oh Yeah" was released in August 2005, but Taxiride's fanbase were put off the the musical change that the band had adopted, and it only made the top 40 for one week in Australia, well below that of their more successful singles. Unfortunately for the band this new musical style virtually alienated their entire fan base, as the album did not even make the top 50 chart in Australia, when their two previous albums made the top 5. Singer-songwriter Chris Bailey, from the Australian punk rock band, The Saints, co-wrote the song 'Everything + Nothing', also featured on their live album Electrophobia. Axiomatic was released in Australia, Japan, India and South East Asia.
