The White Albun is the sixth and final studio album by Australian alternative rock band TISM, released on 24 June 2004. The title is a reference to and deliberate misspelling of The White Album, an unofficial name for the album The Beatles. Ron Hitler-Barassi told the age why the title was chosen "What we're doing here is basically what Jet are doing, which is taking The Beatles ideas and changing them a little bit at the end. If it's worked for Jet, it's going to work for us, that's what we're hoping."[1]
The album was released as part of a larger package containing two DVDs. The first DVD is titled A Film By Antonionioni which is a live concert called Save Our TISM. The second DVD is TISM: A Docunentary (keeping with the 'n' theme) which features interviews of the band, a history of TISM and rare or previously-unreleased footage from TISM concerts.
The album was re-released on 10 November 2004 in a standard CD case.
