Some Disenchanted Evening is an album by The Verlaines.

[4][5] It was released in 1990 on Flying Nun Records.

[6] Trouser Press wrote that "the album’s coda, a piano ballad styled after Randy Newman, is actually the collection’s crowning achievement; harnessing a dapper melody to a bitterly sardonic lyric about failure, it reveals new-found subtlety and clarity in [Graeme] Downes’ writing.

"[7] The New York Times called the album "full of complex melodic variations, crescendos and elegant tempo shifts; the music has the theatrical grandeur of a symphony within the confines of rock.

"[8] All songs written by Graeme Downes, except where noted.
