'The Most Lamentable Tragedy' (hereafter TMLT) is the fourth studio album by Titus Andronicus and the band's debut for Merge Records. A rock opera in five acts. The central narrative of TMLT ("a work of fiction," claims singer / songwriter Patrick Stickles) concerns an unnamed protagonist whom we meet in deep despair. Following an encounter with his own doppelganger (an enigmatic stranger, identical in appearance though opposite in disposition), long held secrets are revealed, sending our protagonist on a transformative odyssey, through past lives and new loves, to the shocking revelation that the very thing that sustains him may be the thing to destroy him. TMLT is both the crown jewel of the band's discography and the legend that contextualizes their entire body of work. It reveals that Titus Andronicus are what hardcore fans have said they are for years, and what the world must now recognize them to be: not merely the greatest rock and roll band of this era, but one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.LP - Triple LP set with exclusive poster and Download.
