Scarlet and Other Stories is the second studio album by All About Eve. It is widely held to be considerably darker both in tone and lyrics than their first album, All About Eve. Possible reasons for this included the disintegration of the (both personal and professional) relationship between Julianne Regan (lead singer) and Tim Bricheno (lead guitarist) during the album's recording and production. Julianne actually suffered something of a breakdown during this time and later stated that she hadn't wept as much in her life as she had during the making this album. (See her own page for further detail.)
In terms of commercial success, Scarlet and Other Stories didn't quite match that of their first album; however, it still made it to No. 9 in the UK charts with three Top 40 singles resulting from it.
