Imago is the second full-length album by the Brisbane band The Butterfly Effect. It was released on June 17, 2006. It debuted on the Australian ARIA album charts at number 2, the Butterfly Effect's first top 10 album and their highest charting album.

The first single from Imago, titled "A Slow Descent", was released on June 10, 2006. It debuted at number 18 on the Australian Singles Chart, and in its second week rose to number 9, giving the Butterfly Effect their first top 10 single.

The track "Phoenix" did not appear on this album, but appeared as a b-side on the "A Slow Descent" single. The album was a feature record at Triple J. The opener IMAGO is an instrumental track. The release was celebrated by hosting a signing at Skinny's Records in the band's hometown of Brisbane on the release date of the new album.

The sound of "Imago" is much more progressive than the previous album and is less heavy as well. The album shows the band have all but lost their earlier nu-metal influences which has made them more popular. Clint Boge's vocals are also much more refined and as a result, his range is higher and more diverse than the previous releases.

"Imago" debuted at No.2 on the ARIA album charts, only narrowly beaten by local alternative rock group Eskimo Joe. After only nine weeks of release, it was certified gold for sales in excess of 35,000 copies.
