"The Scroll and Its Combinations" is the third album by the American rock band Wellwater Conspiracy. It was released on May 22, 2001 through TVT Records.

Overview

The album was recorded in 2000 at Space Studio in Seattle, Washington. The album was mixed by the band and Adam Kasper. Kim Thayil helped with some of the songs on the album. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder (credited as Wes C. Addle) provides vocals on "Felicity's Surprise". Ben Shepherd, who was the former vocalist for the band, played bass on the song "Keppy's Lament". Chris Handyside of "Rolling Stone" said that "amid all the fuzz and minor chord bombast is an edgy, hard-rock post-millenial tension." [Handyside, Chris.
