Casual Viewin' is a 2000 album by Canadian alternative rock band 54-40.[1] The title refers to a lyric from the Genesis song "Broadway Melody of 1974", which reads: "Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand." 54-40 commented in interviews at the time of the album's release that they were influenced by McLuhan's work when making the album, and that they adopted the Genesis lyric as a result.[2]

The album was supported with a national tour, starting in early 2001.[3]

The album was a Juno Award nominee for Best Rock Album at the Juno Awards of 2001.[4]
