Very Fast Very Dangerous is the second album by British rock band Reuben, released little over a year after their debut. Song writing for this album begun as soon as the recording for its predecessor, Racecar Is Racecar Backwards had finished in September 2003. The name originates from a line in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. The album was produced by Chris Sheldon (who has previously worked for Feeder, Foo Fighters and Biffy Clyro) at Raezor Studios.

Many fans noted Very Fast as a "stronger and more complete album" than their debut, and critics largely praised the album, calling it "fantastic" and "essential". However, smaller independent fanzines, who had notably praised Reuben in their early days, criticised the album as narrowing of musical scope given its more straightforward rock approach, and even accused it of being an attempt by the band at selling out.

In a surprising feat for an underground rock band, the album entered #4 in the UK Rock Charts in its first week, beaten only by high-risers Foo Fighters, Green Day and The Rasmus. It made #87 in the mainstream chart, and one place higher than "Racecar Is Racecar Backwards".
