King vs. Queen is the debut album of indie rock group Brighten, released on March 20, 2007.
The album was originally slated for a fall 2006 release, but was pushed back. However, before the album's intended release, Victory Records sued Carbon Copy Media (Brighten's then-current label). As a result of this, Brighten decided to go independent from Victory. On March 20, 2007, King vs. Queen was released to retail stores across the US without the band's knowledge, due to the printing of thousands of CDs by Carbon Copy Media prior to the lawsuit. Once Brighten was made aware of this, the CD was withdrawn from stores. Only a limited number of these CDs are now available.
This CD includes re-recorded songs from the EP Ready When You Are, "Ready When You Are" and "Television".

This version features slightly different artwork and only 9 tracks. The track listing is as follows:
