Album Description
Available in:
Millions Now Living Will Never Die is the second album by Chicago-based band Tortoise. Released in 1996 by Thrill Jockey Records, Millions ... is renowned as a groundbreaking album for post-rock; an uncredited review from Outersound.com declares that not long after the album's release, the group was "hailed as godfathers of the American 'post-rock' movement". In 2006 and 2008 the album was performed live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series. The album also appears in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

The album's title is a reference to a phrase used in the Jehovah's Witness faith in the 1920s. It is, for instance, the title of an essay by Joseph Franklin Rutherford, who was the second president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. It was also the slogan of the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson.

By March 1998, the album had sold over 50,000 copies, with 4/5 of the copies being CDs and the other fifth being LPs.
