This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) is an album by Chevelle, released in 2004. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 41 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)”, on 29 lists with a best position of #4.
This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In), Chevelle's third album, came out on Epic in 2004, and it was the last one all three Loeffler brothers made together: Pete singing and playing guitar, Sam on drums and Joe on bass, before Joe left the band in 2005. Michael "Elvis" Baskette produced, the first of two records he'd make with them.
The Grayslake, Illinois trio stuck with the heavy, coiled sound of Wonder What's Next: thick riffs that lurch and clamp down, Sam's drums punching holes in the wall, Pete swinging from a murmur to a roar. "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" and "The Clincher" carried it. It debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, higher than its predecessor had managed, on nearly 90,000 first-week sales, and eventually went platinum, though it never sold like Wonder What's Next.
