Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum is Tally Hall's debut studio album. 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 is a completely new song. The album gets its name from a museum of mechanized curiosities of the same name located in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

The album was rereleased on September 12, 2006.^[1] This rerelease coincided with additional publicity on MTV and other TV appearances.^[1] The music video for "Good Day" was first shown at Tally Hall's two Ann Arbor concerts, on September 23, 2006.
