The Whirlwind is the third studio album by the band Transatlantic, released on 23 October 2009. It is available in three formats: a standard edition, a double disc special edition and a deluxe edition with a 105-minute making-of DVD.
The main album, while indexed into twelve tracks, is considered one song. It is represented as one track on the band's third and fourth live album Whirld Tour 2010: Live in London and More Never Is Enough: Live In Manchester & Tilburg 2010 respectively.
The bonus disc (which comes with the Special and Deluxe Editions) includes eight new studio recordings: four original Transatlantic songs and four cover songs, which are The return of the giant hogweed from Genesis, A salty dog by Procol Harum, a combination of America's and The Beatles I need you and Santana's Soul sacrifice. At the end of the second disc, there is a hidden track by the band, played on ukulele with vocals.
The album peaked number 21 in the Top Heatseekers chart and number 45 in the German album chart.
