See How We Are is the sixth studio album by American rock band X, released in 1987 by Elektra Records. It was their first album without founding guitarist Billy Zoom, who was replaced by ex-Blasters guitarist Dave Alvin for the album's recording sessions and some live shows. Alvin left X on good terms and was replaced by Tony Gilkyson. It was reissued with five bonus tracks by Rhino in 2002.

By the time the band released its sixth album, See How We Are, Alvin had already left the band, although he played on the record along with Gilkyson and wrote 4th of July for the band. The album marked somewhat of a retreat from the increasingly roots rock direction that the band's past few records had gone in, instead featuring an eclectic alternative rock sound that fit in well with the then-current musical climate.

See how we are Hey man, what's in it for me? See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh, see how we are. Well, this morning, the alarm rang at noon And I'm trying to write this letter to you About how much I care And why I just can't be there To draw your bath and comb And comb your hair

After See How We Are and it's subsequent tour (which would find permanent Zoom replacement Tony Gilkyson on guitar), X would break up to concentrate on solo careers, acting projects, marriage, and raising families. They would come back in the early '90's to make an album that is an X album really in name only, tour, make an excellent acoustic live album in '95, break up again, and after a '98 autograph signing session that found Zoom joining the band for the first time in 13 years, would reunite once more with the guitarist to launch. Never getting a glimpse of where this band may of gone creatively as a full time rock n roll band after the See How We Are album, fans of the group are left merely to speculate what could of been, although with so much timeless rock n roll left behind by this extraordinary band, it hardly matters, as they had given so much.
