'''Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum''' (M.M.M.M.) is [[Tally Hall]]'s debut studio album released under the newly created [[Quack! Media]] music label in November 2005 (there was never an official release DAY, though their official CD release party was held on 11/12/05 at The Double Door in Chicago, IL). Their previous recordings were all independently produced and distributed demos. All of the tracks on the album are fleshed-out, finished versions of their demo tracks, with the exception of "Haiku," which was a completely new song. The album gets its name from a [[Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (Place)|museum of mechanized curiosities of the same name]] located in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

The album was officially re-released on September 12, 2006. The reasons for the re-release were never 100% clear, but this re-release coincided with additional publicity on MTV, national distribution in all major retail stores, and various other TV appearances including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Late_Show_(U.S._TV_series) The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson]. The music video for "Good Day" was first shown at Tally Hall's two Ann Arbor concerts, on September 23, 2006.
