Begins Here is the debut full-length album by Brisbane rock band The Butterfly Effect.

Begins Here reached number 23 on the ARIA Album Charts,[1] the band's first entry to the top 100, as their first extended play The Butterfly Effect had peaked outside of the top 100.

The music style of "Begins Here" is a transition in sound between their EP and "Imago" with the EP having an alternative metal sound and "Imago" employing a more progressive rock feel.

After nearly three years of release, in mid-2006 "Begins Here" was certified gold in Australia, with sales in excess of 35,000 copies.

Flynn Gower, the vocalist of Australian progressive rock band Cog, makes a guest appearance on the song "Perception Twin".
