"Twice Removed" was the second album by Canadian rock band Sloan. It was released on Geffen Records in 1994, and is considered to be one of their best albums. It was more melodic and catchy than their previous album, "Smeared", and as a result Geffen did not promote it very well because it didn't fit the commercially dominant grunge rock style of the time. The band was dropped from Geffen after "Twice Removed" was released. Although it was the record that made them famous in Canada, Sloan took time off from touring and writing after the troubles with Geffen, and they were rumoured to have broken up.

In 1996, the music magazine "Chart" conducted a reader poll to determine the best Canadian albums of all time. "Twice Removed" topped that poll. When the magazine conducted a follow up poll in 2000, "Twice Removed" lost the top spot to Joni Mitchell's "Blue", but still placed third. In the third poll, in 2005, "Twice Removed" reclaimed the top spot. It was also ranked 14th in Bob Mersereau's 2007 book "The Top 100 Canadian Albums".

Jennifer Pierce from Jale once again appears as a backup singer on "I Can Feel It".

Trivia

*"Penpals" was born out of broken English letters written by fans to Nirvana, which the Sloan guys rummaged through when they were signed to Geffen in the early '90s [cite web
