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 has earned Chevelle many comparisons to the successful progressive metal band Tool.[6] The music video for "Mia" was, like some of Tool's videos, completely stop motion animated. Additionally, Pete Loeffler's vocals, like those of Maynard James Keenan, range from soft and melodic to brutal and gut-wrenching. "Long", for instance, is notable for Loeffler's climactic twelve-second-long scream. The track listing to this CD is on the front rather than the back, while the album cover is on the back of the album.
