...And Finally is the second and final studio album by Northern Irish rock band Scheer. It was released in 2000 through the band's own record label Schism Records, following the band's demise in 1998. The recording of the album started in 1997; nevertheless, its release was postponed indefinitely due to a contractual disagreement with 4AD record label.^[1]

Critical reception

AllMusic critic Heather Phares thought that "stronger songwriting and clearer production of the record provide the focus and polish necessary to make Scheer's sound less forced." Phares further stated: "Though it grows somewhat repetitive toward the end, it's unfortunate that And Finally didn't receive the release it deserved, as it clearly shows Scheer's continued growth and potential."^[2]
