Doppelgänger is the second studio album from American mathcore band The Fall of Troy, which followed up the band's bootlegged Ghostship Demos EP from 2004 as well as their self-titled LP from 2003. Four of the songs ("I Just Got This Symphony Goin'", "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.", "Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles", "Whacko Jacko Steals the Elephant Man's Bones") were re-recorded versions of tracks from the self-titled album, hence the name Doppelgänger. "Macaulay McCulkin" was taken from the Ghostship Demos EP, and was put onto Doppelgänger for unknown reasons.

Trivia[]

  • "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X." was featured on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Saint's Row and MLB 2K6; and its initials are commonly believed to stand for "Fuck Condoms, Premarital Remix".[citation needed]
  • "You Got a Death Wish, Johnny Truant?" and "The Hol[ ]y Tape..." are quotes taken from Mark Z. Danielewski's novel House of Leaves, with "Hol[ ]y" being short for "Holloway"
  • The title "Laces Out, Dan!" is taken from a quote in the film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In the movie, the person in reference is Miami Dolphins player Dan Marino.
  • The title of the song "Tom Waits" is in reference to the singer Tom Waits, who has a song named "The Fall of Troy".
  • "Whacko Jacko Steals the Elephant Man's Bones" is a reference to the music video of Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone" in which Michael Jackson dances alongside a claymation portrayal of Joseph Merrick's, the Elephant Man's bones.
