Pretty Together is the sixth album by Canadian rock group Sloan. It was released on Murderecords in 2001, and is often seen as the band's most mature album. While it still has the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1990s influences of Between the Bridges, it is more melancholy with fewer of the upbeat songs found on previous albums. 'If It Feels Good Do It' and 'The Other Man' were the two major singles from the album, with the latter being a melancholy plea by Chris Murphy which marked an outing from the usual upbeat songs Murphy provides the group with.
"If It Feels Good Do It" was recently in The Girl Next Door.

[edit] Miscellanea
- "The Other Man" was released as a single for "Pretty Together" and remains one of Sloan's most popular and recognizable songs. The song describes a love triangle among the Canadian independent music community as it was inspired by Chris Murphy's relationship with Leslie Feist. While Murphy was dating Feist, she was also seeing fellow Broken Social Scene member Andrew Whiteman. [1]
