Elegies to Lessons Learnt is I Like Trains' first studio album, and was released on 1 October 2007.
As with their earlier EP, Progress Reform, many of the songs cover historical events. Each B-Side (indented here) tells a different aspect of the same story as its single.
"Victress", which was released before this album, alludes to the album title with the lyrics "I sing elegies to lessons I will never learn" which are sung during the second verse.
A DVD version of the album was released on 21 April 2008, and coincided with a tour and the release of "We Go Hunting" as a single.
