The Most Lamentable Tragedy is the fourth studio album by New Jerseypunk rock band Titus Andronicus, released on July 28, 2015, through Merge Records. It is a rock opera in five acts that follows "Our Hero", a man who is visited by his doppelganger and goes through considerable life experiences and dream sequences, all acting as a metaphor for manic depression.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from music critics, TMLT has received an average score of 79, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Tiny Mix Tapes gave it a perfect 10/10, saying "TMLT feels like the Titus Andronicus record par excellence, it pushes and shoves at the boundaries of what such a record could or should conceivably sound like," while Pitchfork Media noted, "A 29-track, 93-minute rock opera that immediately restored their claims to outsized ambition, as only a 29-track, 93-minute rock opera might."
All tracks are written by Patrick Stickles and arranged by Titus Andronicus except "I Lost My Mind (DJ)" by Daniel Johnston, "A Pair of Brown Eyes" by Shane MacGowan, "Auld Lang Syne" (traditional), and "I'm Going Insane (Finish Him)" (traditional).
