The Woods is the seventh and final studio album by the indie rock trio Sleater-Kinney. Released in 2005, the album was released to wide-spread critical acclaim. The album was produced by Dave Fridmann, whose earlier work includes collaborations with The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. It represents a stylistic shift from their previous releases, fusing elements of classic rock such as Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin with the band's more characteristic punk rock sound, while continuing lyrical themes such as consumerism, personal relationships, implicit politics and post-9/11 American life.
This album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005.
