'''Checkpoint''' is the second full-length album released by heavy metal musician [[Directory:Tom Walker|Tom Walker]]. It was released on February 21, 2009 on CD. It followed on from Walker's first release [[Directory:Another Ode|Another Ode]], and was over twice the length of the first album. This was Walker's only album with a fully digital cover; all other album and single covers have included a photograph. The album contains an instrumental track, which at the time was Walker's longest, the eight-minute long title track 'Checkpoint'. This is also Walker's only song to be played in Drop B tuning. The album is in a mixture of guitar tunings; tracks 1, 5 and 9 are in Eb, 3 and 14 are in standard, 2 is in Drop B, 6, 10 and 11 are in Drop D, 8 and 12 are in D and the remainder are in Drop C.

 

The fourteenth track on the album is a cover of the indie rock band Johnny Goes West. The tenth track 'Adrenaline' is written as a direct sequel to Another Ode's 'Downhill Flight' and the name of the track 'Leave it Out' later re-appeared in the song 'All You People', a B-side from the single 'Come Back to Me'.
