noticed the planets weren't revolving around the earth, they were revolving around the sun, that went against the church and they turned it in to the inquisition imprisoned him. That's the trouble with angels, he was holding back, the church was holding back scientific discoveries because it went against what they were talking about. In life there's a dichotomy to every situation, you would think that angels are good, but for Galileo and the rest of science, not so good." "Drug Boy" was written about his past antics while touring with Nine Inch Nails involving drugs and staying out all night. "Catch a Falling Knife" was inspired by the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was kept in captivity for 18 years. The chorus to "The Inevitable Relapse" was a chant he used to actually use when using drugs in the past. "Down with Me" tells a story similar to a murder/suicide." Reception Initial reception of the album has been generally positive. The NewReview gave the album a 4.5 out of 5 and stated "The Trouble With Angels can best be described as a combination of the hammering juggernauts Short Bus and The Amalgamut wrapped in the catchiness of Title of Record. Some people say that it's nearly impossible for a band to rewrite history after experiencing huge success and then fading. But with this album, Filter haven't rewritten history; they have grabbed it by the neck and are choking the very life out of it." The review from CWG stated that the album was "a majestic, transcendent rock album filled with urgency and commitment" and commended the album on its "consistent excellence". All Knowing Force also gave it very high praise, stating "It's an amazing accomplishment for Richard Patrick and a real treat for Filter's core fanbase who might've thought the band had gotten slightly off track with 2008's Anthems for the Damned. This record is a defining moment for Filter." On the other side of things, Ology was less enthusiastic with the album, claiming that it "is the same tired, heavy metal with a sensitive heart slop that's dominated mainstream rock radio for more than a decade."
