Next album = "The Sun" is an album by The Cat Empire recorded in June 2002, and is a follow-up to their album "Live @ Adelphia".

The album was never released for retail sale but was sold at performances during their American tour and, as such, there are very few authentic copies of the album. According to Felix Riebl (vocals and percussion), he himself does not have a copy of the album: cquote|To be honest, I know next to nothing about this album, but I know there are a lot of Cat Empire fans who want to know which songs the album has and that much, I do know.

The songs "The Rhythm", "The Chariot", "The Crowd", and "Hello" were re-recorded and included in their official self-titled debut album. "Two Shoes" and "The Night That Never End" were re-recorded in their second album "Two Shoes". "Song For the Day" was re-recorded for their third album "Cities". Many of the tracks found on this album were released in their original form on "Tapes, Breaks and Out-Takes". With the inclusion of the track "The Sun" on the "On The Attack" DVD, the collection can almost be pieced together from other albums.

Copies of the album have been bootlegged on the online auction site eBay, being sold for many times its original value.
