Even Serpents Shine is the second studio album by English band the Only Ones, released in 1979 by Columbia Records.

[2] It was produced by Peter Perrett and Alan Mair.

The album was re-released in the United Kingdom in 2009 on Sony Music Entertainment, featuring bonus content.

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Mark Deming wrote that "Even Serpents Shine doesn't boast an out-of-the-box classic tune along the lines of 'Another Girl, Another Planet' from the self-titled debut, but in many respects, this is the more consistent album, achieving a similar degree of thematic and melodic variety while generating a more coherent sound and feeling," adding that "they were one of the very few bands of their time and place who inarguably beat the sophomore slump.

Mike Kellie and Alan Mair – both seasoned pros on drums and bass – never falter, allowing John Perry's guitar to fly; while John 'Rabbit' Bundrick's organ adds just the right dollop of Al Kooper-isms.
