Twice Told Tales is the second studio album by the American alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs, released in 1987. The album features a blend of folk, rock, and world music influences, characterized by Natalie Merchant's distinctive vocals and the band's intricate instrumentation. Thematically, the album explores a range of topics, including love, loss, and the passage of time, with a reflective and sometimes melancholic tone. While it did not achieve commercial success on the scale of their later works, it has been praised for its artistic integrity and remains a significant part of the band's legacy.
