'''''The existence of chance is everything and nothing while the greatest achievement is the living of life, and so say ALL OF US''''', or simply '''''All of Us''''', is the second studio album released by the British [[psychedelic rock]] band [[Nirvana (UK band)|Nirvana]]. The album was released in 1968.
It includes "Tiny Goddess," "Trapeze," and "Frankie the Great". The album's most well-known song, "Rainbow Chaser," leads off, with its prominent phasing effects; "Tiny Goddess," a ballad, comes next. "Rainbow Chaser" was a No. 1 single in [[Denmark]] in April 1969, where it stayed in the top 10 for a month. "Rainbow Chaser" was to be their only UK top 40 hit.
The cover shot is a monochrome reproduction of ''Les Conquérants'' (''The Conquerors'') painted in 1892 by Pierre Fritel,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/2010/04/27/nirvana-and-the-conquerors/|title=Nirvana and the Conquerors|date=27 April 2010}}</ref> and depicts some of world history's most famous figures leading a procession through a mass of dead bodies.
