It is the only Chevelle album released by Squint Entertainment and their only collaboration with producer Steve Albini. The album featured a notable single in its title track but achieved only minor success, especially compared to Chevelle's major label follow-up in 2002. ==Background and recording== After recording a demo, Chevelle played small concerts for three years until being signed to Steve Taylor's independent Christian label Squint Entertainment. The band recorded for 17 days in Electrical Audio studios〔, also (archived from the dead ''Baffler'' site ). (Reprinted in ''Maximum RocknRoll'' #133 (June 1994) and later various websites.)〕 with producer Steve Albini, famous for his work with the likes of Nirvana, Cheap Trick, and PJ Harvey. According to Chevelle frontman Pete Loeffler, Albini gave their album an unrefined "indie feel" in which the recording process was essentially "plug in, he hits record, and you play." Loeffler added, "At the time I was shocked talking to someone who had worked closely to Kurt Cobain. It was a trip. It was really cool." ''Point #1'' was recorded in standard D with an alternative metal approach. However, the band was left unsatisfied and feeling that he didn't achieve the tones and overall sound they were looking for. They called Albini and, much to his surprise, expressed disappointment with the final product. Although they enjoyed working with him, Chevelle wanted to find a different producer to resolve the issue; however, their label gave them no choice but to work with Albini once again. The second phase of recording was, according to Loeffler, much more laid back and relaxed in which Albini "really opened up."〔Van Pelt, Doug (Chevelle - Interview w/Pete 7/03 ) ''HM'' (July 2003). Retrieved on 11-17-2012.〕 Largely thanks to Albini's influence, ''Point #1'' is notably less intense than future Chevelle material; however, the album's title track has remained a common part of the band's concert set list. Nevertheless, the band's major label debut, ''Wonder What's Next'', has since been regarded by the band as their "first" album.〔Klodz, Randy J.
