Point #1 is the debut album of Chevelle. It is also the only Chevelle album under Squint Entertainment. The album produced a notable single in its title track. "Point #1" can still be occasionally heard on radio stations, although not nearly as much as future releases. As of 2003 the album's instrumental first track, "Open," was still performed in concert.
When Point #1 was released, and still today, many fans have compared Chevelle to the successful alternative metal band Tool. One comparison includes Pete Loeffler's vocals which, like Maynard James Keenan, would go from soft and melodic to brutal and gut-wrenching in seconds. Another comparison is in the video for "Mia" which, like all of Tool's videos, was completely stop motion animated.
