Good & Evil (album)

Good & Evil is the second studio album by the American rock band Tally Hall, released on June 21, 2011. Following their debut album Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, Good & Evil features a more complex and layered sound, incorporating a wider range of musical styles, including art rock, progressive pop, and elements of classical music. The album explores themes of morality, duality, and the conflict between opposing forces.

The album's production was lengthy and faced several challenges, including disputes with their record label, Atlantic Records, which ultimately led to the band independently releasing the album. This resulted in a significant delay between its initial conception and final release.

Good & Evil is notable for its elaborate conceptual framework, intricate instrumentation, and cryptic lyrical content. The album's songs often feature complex harmonies, unconventional song structures, and a blending of the band members' individual songwriting styles. Specific tracks like "Turn the Lights Off," "You," and "Ruler of Everything" have become fan favorites and are representative of the album's distinctive sound.

While not achieving mainstream commercial success upon its release, Good & Evil has garnered a dedicated following and is considered by many fans and critics to be Tally Hall's most ambitious and artistically significant work. Its impact on the band's fanbase and its continued discovery through online platforms have solidified its place as a cult classic in the indie pop genre.
