Figure Number Five is the fifth album released by the Swedish melodic death metal band Soilwork.
A few different editions of this album existed upon release. The normal release with 11 tracks, as well as a limited edition release with a second CD of demos from 1997.
Attempting to capitalize on their new-found success after two unforgettable albums (A Predator's Portrait and Natural Born Chaos), Soilwork entered the studio once again, but the outcome, while still a quality product, lacked the potency and power of the previous two releases, and is considered by some as a "rush job", and possibly pandering to a wider audience by using a more commercial sound.
This album marked keyboardist Sven Karlsson's first attempts at songwriting for the band.
