The Fallout is the debut album by Canadian post-grunge/alternative rock band Default. Chad Kroeger, the frontman of Nickelback, contributed to the album's production. With two hit singles, The Fallout is generally considered Default's best work, as their two follow-up albums failed to gain as much success. The song "Wasting My Time" received much airplay throughout 2001 and 2002. The second single, "Deny," was featured on the soundtrack of the popular NHL 2003 game by EA Sports and also received a great deal of air time, helping launch Default into the mainstream of Canadian rock. A special edition of this CD, alongside a DVD, included the bonus track "Blind" and acoustic versions of the lead singles "Deny" and "Wasting My Time." An acoustic version of the final track, "Let You Down," also served as the final track to Default's sophomore effect, Elocation.
