The Fall of Troy is the self-titled debut album by The Fall of Troy.

Track listing

All tracks written by The Fall of Troy.

The band members were 17 when they recorded this album, with the exception of Thomas, who had turned 18 two months before the recording started.

The whole album was recorded in one week throughout one take.

Lead singer and guitarist Thomas Erak has the original album's cover art tattooed on his left arm.

"The Last March of The Ents" is about the Destruction of Isengard from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

"The Adventures of Allan Gordon" is about the book The Iceberg Hermit.

"F.C.P.S.I.T.S.G.E.P.G.E.P.G.E.P." has the speculated meanings:

The widespread opinion is that "F.C.P.S.I.T.S.G.E.P.G.E.P.G.E.P." stands for "Fuck Condoms, Premarital Sex Is The Shit! Get 'Em/E'r Pregnant, Get 'Em/'Er Pregnant, Get 'Em/'Er Pregnant!"
According to the guitarist's personal LiveJournal account, the song name matches exactly with a personal saying as described above.
According to the band's FAQ, "No comment, and even if you figure it out, it doesn't mean anything." (Presumably, the title is a joke that does not mean anything related to the lyrics or the song's meaning itself.).
