Perspective is the twelfth studio album by American folk rock duo America, released by Capitol Records on September 21, 1984.

The album, featuring three different producers — Matthew McCauley, Richie Zito and Richard James Burgess — and a multitude of prominent session musicians, represented America's foray into the synthesizer-laden music popular in the mid-1980s, including the use of DMX Drums.

The album also features "Stereo", a collaboration between Beckley and songwriter Jimmy Webb, and the reggae-influenced "Lady with a Bluebird", co-written by Bunnell, Bill Mumy and Robert Haimer.

Originally released only on vinyl and cassette, Perspective was first issued in the CD format in the United States by the now-defunct One Way Records in 1998.

However, they did give a nod to "the natural harmonies of Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell" and contended that the album is at least a significant improvement over its predecessor, Your Move.
