In the Unlikely Event is the fourth studio album by American mathcore band The Fall of Troy, that was released on October 6, 2009. ^[5] The album was recorded with producer Terry Date and is the only full-length album to feature bassist Frank Ene (first featured on Phantom on the Horizon ). It was recorded at Studio Lithio. The album featured a slightly less aggressive style compared to the band's earlier work, in turn facing mixed critical reception.

In the Unlikely Event is available in a deluxe or regular version. According to thefalloftroy.com, "Deluxe version limited to 1,000 copies includes alternate packaging and a USB drive featuring videos, band commentary, and more."

Copies of the album sold came with a sticker attached advertising the Fall of Troy Track Pack, a trio of songs from the album available as downloadable content for music video game Guitar Hero 5 . These songs ("Panic Attack!", "A Classic Case of Transference" and "Single") were made available on December 3, 2009.
