"The Third Hand" is the third full-length studio album by RJD2. It was released March 6 2007 on XL Records. Unlike "Deadringer" and "Since We Last Spoke", which were largely sample-based, "The Third Hand" is more of a traditional pop/rock record and features RJD2 singing and playing instruments on nearly every track.
