This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) is the third studio album and second major label release by American alternative metal band Chevelle. Peaking at #8, it charted higher on the Billboard 200 than its predecessor, Wonder What's Next; however, the album didn't manage to match its predecessor's commercial success, but was certified gold. This Type of Thinking follows generally the same heavy style as Wonder What's Next with popular singles like "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" and "The Clincher." It would be the first of two records produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette. This was also the final album featuring bassist Joe Loeffler, who departed from the band in 2005.
