Nude is the third studio album by the band VAST. It was released on February 24, 2004.

A European version was also released, which includes two bonus tracks and a sixteen page booklet housed in a cardboard slipcase. The bonus tracks included are Falling from the Sky (as track 13) and I Woke Up L.A. (as track 14). The version of I Woke Up L.A. available here is different from the version appearing on the Turquoise & Crimson (Retail Version) double-cd release: it is slightly extended, and contains an extra lyrical verse. Both are older demo versions. The album would later be phased out by Turquoise & Crimson (Retail Version).

VAST's least successful album commercially and critically, the album would prove to be the stepping stone to later endeavors by Crosby's band. The album has become a fan-favorite, though, in recent years. This was also VAST's first album to use chanting, unorthodox instruments, and sampling since 1998's Visual Audio Sensory Theater.

This would also be VAST's first release with 456 Entertainment, as well as their last. Crosby reported that "releasing Nude on 456 was a nightmare." on his website. Crosby would eventually create 2Blossoms, which would release future VAST albums.
