Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment is the third studio album from the American indie rock band, Bad Astronaut. It was released in November, 2006, on Fat Wreck Chords and follows Houston: We Have a Drinking Problem from 2002 and Acrophobe from Feb 2001 on Honest Don's. Due to the death of drummer Derrick Plourde, it is Bad Astronaut's final album. It is also the only Bad Astronaut release to feature all original material.
The song "Violet" was originally released by Joey Cape as a solo acoustic track on his split LP with No Use for a Name singer Tony Sly. "Minus" was also previously released as a Cape solo track on the Fat Wreck Chords compilation PROTECT: A Benefit for the National Association to Protect Children.
