Dissonance is the 12th studio album by the hard rock band Enuff Z'Nuff. It marks the reunion of singers Donnie Vie and Chip Z'Nuff after Vie’s several-year hiatus. Recording started in 2006 and continued through 2009, sparked by the band’s potential appearance on VH-1’s Bands on the Run. Some early sessions were bootlegged by fans as Lost In Vegas and were later reworked for the official release. Jake E. Lee, the guitarist known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands, plays on several tracks. A limited U.S. edition with 9 tracks was sold at Rocklahoma on July 10, 2008.

Dissonance was officially released in Japan on April 22, 2009, and in the U.K. on July 19, 2010. The U.K. edition includes the bonus tracks Code Red and Run For Your Life. A planned DVD release evolved into a two-CD live album, Live And Peace, recorded during Enuff Z’Nuff’s Japanese tour of Dissonance and released in December 2009 by King Records. On November 27, 2020, a limited-edition colored-vinyl version was issued in the U.S. by Cleopatra/Deadline Records with new cover art, making this the first U.S. label release for the album. All tracks were written by Donnie Vie and Chip Z’Nuff, unless noted. The album runs 45 minutes and 16 seconds and was produced by Vinnie Castaldo alongside Enuff Z’Nuff. It was released on King Records (Japan), Rock Candy/Grind That Axe (UK), and Cleopatra Records (US).
