Wait Long By The River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By is the second album released by Perth band The Drones.

The album was also nominated for Triple J's inaugural J Award prize in 2005 (but eventually lost out to Wolfmother) and topped many Australian critics' end-of-year Top 10 lists.

Furthermore, Triple J put the album tracks "Shark Fin Blues" and "Baby²" on medium rotation. During an extensive six month tour encompassing Europe and the US, All Tomorrow's Parties issued Wait Long By The River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By outside of Australia towards the end of 2005.

The album was the inaugrural Australian Music Prize, defeating eight other finalists to win the album of the year.
