The Politics of Ecstasy is the second full-length studio album by American heavy metal band Nevermore, released in 1996. The album is named after Timothy Leary's book of the same name. The first chapter of the book is titled "The Seven Tongues of God", which is the title of the first song on the album. There is a spoken word sample in the track "Next in Line" from the Adrian Lyne movie Jacob's Ladder.
