Forget Yourself is the fifteenth album by the Australian alternative rock band The Church, released in October 2003.{{cite web | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20121006014121/http://hem.passagen.se/honga/database/c/church.html | url = http://hem.passagen.se/honga/database/c/church.html | work = passagen.se | title = The Church | publisher = Australian Rock Database (Magnus Holmgren) | last1 = Holmgren | first1 = Magnus | archivedate = 6 October 2012 | url-status = usurped | accessdate = 16 July 2014 }} It was recorded at drummer Tim Powles' Spacejunk studios in Australia and features many straight-to-tape recordings with few overdubs.

Around the time of Parallel Universe{{'}}s (late 2002) release, the Church returned to the studio to record another album, eventually entitled Forget Yourself. Rather than fleshing the songs out over a long, gradual process, the band decided to keep the music as close to the original jam-based material as possible. Stylistically, this made for a much rawer sound, primarily recorded live and with minimal overdubs. As had become routine since Sometime Anywhere (May 1994), songs saw numerous instrument changes between members, with Powles playing guitar on "Sealine" and Willson-Piper switching to drums on "Maya."

John D. Luersson at AllMusic described the album as "a timeless, magical disc that is easily as strong as anything from their 1980s peak", adding that "the real brilliance peeks through on lush numbers like 'Telepath,' 'Maya,' and 'June,' all boasting the ethereal moments that made early discs like Remote Luxury and Heyday fan favorites."{{cite web |last=Luerssen |first=John D. |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/forget-yourself-mw0000695516 |title=Forget Yourself |publisher=AllMusic |accessdate=19 October 2013}} Note: for charting information user may need to click on 'Awards' tab.
