The Lost Album is the fourth studio album by singer-songwriter Drake Bell. The album was intended as a follow-up to his second album, It's Only Time, but released 13 years later after the lost hard drive containing preliminary recordings was recovered. It is Bell's first album released on dB Records.

Background and release
After releasing his second album, Bell began work on songs for a follow-up

Critical reception
The album received positive reviews with critics praising Bell's performance and songwriting. The album has also been noted for its heavy Beatles influence. Allmusic wrote in its review of the album, "Drake Bell reveals a knack for charming, well-crafted pop tunes on his 2006 major-label debut, It's Only Time. Clearly a devoted Beatles acolyte, Bell offers up a set of tunes that (surprisingly, for a tween-focused pop celebrity) largely rejects slick modern production in favor of a vintage sound inspired by Abbey Road Studio, as best revealed on the sunny, shimmering "I Know" and the jaunty, piano-driven "Fool the World"."
