Fourth From the Last is the first album by the band The W's, released in 1998 by 5 Minute Walk. The name of the album is derived from the fact that the letter W is the fourth from the last letter in the Latin alphabet.
The album was well received, achieving #4 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and "Top Contemporary Christian" charts, and #147 on "The Billboard 200". Although the album was pulled from the shelves of LifeWay Christian Resources stores for containing "indecent" words the album eventually sold over 200,000 units. The album received two Dove Awards in 1999, first for "Modern Rock Album of the Year," and "Modern Rock Record Song of the Year" for the song "The Devil Is Bad".
The hidden track is a tribute to the band Five Iron Frenzy, performed in the style of Wesley Willis.

Famous quotes containing the words the last and/or fourth:
“The moment when she crawled out onto the back of the open limousine in which her husband had been murdered was the first and last time the American people would see Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis crawl.... She was the last great private public figure in this country. In a time of gilt and glitz and perpetual revelation, she was perpetually associated with that thing so difficult to describe yet so simple to recognize, the apotheosis of dignity.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you.”
—Bible: Hebrew Deuteronomy, 6:15.
The words are also found in Exodus 20:5, referring to the second commandment: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image ... for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
