The Trouble With Angels

2010 album from the Alt-Rock favorites. Eclecticism has been a hallmark of Richard Patrick’s career in Filter, and it’s administered with crushing efficiency on the Trouble with Angels. Fans weaned on the industrial outbursts and corrosive beats of 1995’s Short Bus and 1999’s Title of Record will be ecstatic to hear Patrick’s unmistakable scream and unflinching honesty dominating the new album. On the surface, leadoff single ‘The Inevitable Relapse’ details a shattered man succumbing to addiction, but can be read as a study of love lost, consumption or obsession, depending on your perspective. ‘… it’s really a love song’ says Richard. Filter’s the Trouble with Angels contains Richard Patrick’s strongest, most aggressive songwriting yet.
