"The Middle of Nowhere" is a 2005 release by Circle II Circle. It was the band's second studio release, but the first featuring the new band assembled after Stevens fired the original band in 2003. Like the band's first record, it features guest appearances and writing credits for Stevens's former Savatage band mates, Jon Oliva and Chris Caffery.

The Japanese edition of the album featured three bonus tracks. One track was a live performance of the title track from the band's previous release, "Watching in Silence". The other two tracks were previously released on the "All That Remains" EP.
