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.
