The Most Lamentable Tragedy

The Most Lamentable Tragedy is the fourth studio album by New Jersey punk 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.

Reception
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."
