'''Good & Evil''' is [[Tally Hall]]'s second studio album. It was released on June 21, 2011 by independent label [[Quack! Media]] on CD, vinyl, and digital download.


== Timeline ==


It's been said that this album will be considered [[Tally Hall]]'s "debut" record with [[Atlantic Records]], since the previous release was merely a re-release of [[Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (Album)|Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum]]. Because of this, there is a great hope that Atlantic Records will be much more pro-active in promoting this release.
