Quasimodo's Dream is the second album by Australian group The Reels, released in May 1981 by Polygram Records. It is considered to be the band's best work and contains the iconic title track, which was voted as number 10 on APRA's list of Top 30 Australian songs. Other singles from the album include "After the News" and "Shout and Deliver". The song "According to My Heart", a cover of the 1961 Jim Reeves song had been included on the album against the wishes of the band, as a result of this, there was a sticker on the inner sleeve that said "Due to Record Company Pressure This Album Contains The Hit Single According To My Heart".
Quasimodo's Dream peaked in the top 30 of the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart. In October 2010, it was listed in the top 40 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums.
In October 2011, the album was finally reissued on CD by Liberation Records in what was the 30th anniversary of its release. This had a different track listing and combined the three "Media Themes" instrumentals into one track.
