Perfect Self is the debut album by the American rock band Stereomud. It was released on May 22, 2001 through Loud Records and was manufactured via Columbia Records. The album met with moderate commercial success, with its two singles, "Pain" and "Steppin Away", both featuring their own music videos. The album sold more than 100,000 units in the US.[1]

Musically, the album has been described as hard rock with metal influences, similar in style to that of Sevendust (bassist Corey Lowery is younger brother to Clint Lowery of Sevendust and Dark New Day). The album's sound varies from rock and metal-based songs, as vocalist Erik Rogers also varies between clean tone singing and the traditional screaming found in metal music.

The album is listed as having a total of 23 tracks (which was a "lucky" number for Lowery); however, 10 of these tracks are listed as "[untitled track]". These tracks are small electronica-based interludes that are variations of the final track, "Perfect Self", which is a blend of acoustic and electronica.

"Don't Be Afraid" was featured in the soundtrack for the video game ATV Offroad Fury 2.
