Something Wicked This Way Comes is the third studio album by British all-female rock band Innocent. It was released in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2006 by Vixenation, over a year after their sophomore effort World Dominaton (2004). Unlike their previous album, which featured many cover versions and songs written by other artists, Innocent wrote a majority of Something Wicked This Way Comes by themselves. The album contains predominantly alternative rock and post-punk music with electronic influences. Pop singer and Vulpes frontwoman Emma Brown appears, as well as girl group PSJ.

Critics lauded Something Wicked This Way Comes, describing it as Innocent's best offering yet, an opinion that was only strengthened when the album was re-released to inlude collaborative efforts with CHRIS and Neyssa. The album spawned four top five hits: "Spread the Word", "Post Secret"/"Stockholm Syndrome", "Femme Fatale"/"I Beg of You" (with CHRIS) and "Dry"/"Lye (with Neyssa). "Madhouse" was scheduled for release in October 2006, but its cancelation led to a five-month gap between singles. Something Wicked This Way Comes served as Innocent's second number one album and second to receive a diamond certification. The album was promoted with the band's world tour, The Madhouse Live.
