The Mind's Eye is the debut studio album by the band Stiltskin. The album was driven by the success of the single "Inside", which reached number one in the UK. The follow-up single "Footsteps" reached number 34 in the UK.
It was the only album recorded by the original lineup of the band. The next album, She, would be released in 2006 with a new lineup that only retained lead vocalist Ray Wilson.
