The Trouble with Angels is American band Filter's fifth studio album. It was released on August 17, 2010 through Rocket Science Ventures in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe. The first single from the album, "The Inevitable Relapse", was released for free on the band's official website on May 26, 2010.
Filter started working on a fifth album shortly after the release of the remix and greatest hits albums, with Bob Marlette as a producer. The album, as said by Richard Patrick, would be a lot heavier than Anthems for the Damned and is to have a song written for The Amalgamut on it. In an interview for the album, Patrick confirmed that song to be "Drug Boy". He also stated he would be moving away from the political lyrical content present in Anthems for the Damned. When asked about the direction of the music style in an interview with Suicide Girls on September 13, 2008, Patrick said, "...is actually way more heavy industrial, more electronic. There’s probably not going to be that many live drums on it."
