Neptune is the fourth album by The Northern Pikes released in 1992. This was the band's last studio album until they reformed in 1999.
"Twister" and "Everything" were released as proper singles, with "Twister" becoming a moderate hit. The song "Believe" was released as a promotional single, and was a top 40 hit. Meanwhile, "Everything" failed to chart – instead, the b-side "Worlds Away" picked up airplay and peaked at #40 on the Canadian singles charts.
The album was certified Gold in Canada by the Canadian Recording Industry Association on December 10, 1992.
The album features co-vocals by Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies on two songs, and the playing of Ken Greer of Red Rider on two songs.
