On February 26, 2010, Thomas announced that the band were parting ways following their upcoming "The Marked Men of 2010" tour. Between 2010 and 2013, he formed Just Like Vinyl and joined Chiodos. Andrew Forsman also joined The Monday Mornings, and Frank Black joined Chineke.
The original lineup of The Fall of Troy reunited for three nights in December 2013 in Austin, Texas. Each night, the band performed one of its first three albums (The Fall of Troy, Doppelgänger and Manipulator) in its entirety. During the VIP reunion show, the band announced they would continue making music in 2014 by releasing a free album.
The new album, titled OK, was self-released on April 20th, 2016 (three weeks after its formal announcement) through the band's website for a pay what you want model, in addition to a vinyl release.
As a followup, on May 20th, 2016, the band released an alternate mix of OK simply titled OK #2, which bears more resemblance to their earlier material and production sound. "OK#2 represents a different version of us; the raw fury you hear at our shows and our earlier albums." The band later released instrumental versions of both mixes, entitled OK #3.1 and OK #3.2

Problem!?
The Fall of Troy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
making light of you makes no sense!
Rub it in while you're picking off your skin...
Cumshot queen
build me up,
break me off.
As long as we stay uninvolved.
Lost my sight,
making light of you makes no sense!
Rub it in while you're picking off your skin...
The lyrics of The Fall of Troy's Problem! can be interpreted in different ways, but the central theme seems to be the confusion and frustration of a relationship gone wrong. The first two lines suggest a sense of disorientation or blindness, either literal or metaphorical. The next line -"making light of you makes no sense!"- could be seen as a commentary on how the persona is trying to cope with the flaws of their lover by downplaying them, but it's not working. The following line -"Rub it in while you're picking off your skin..."- adds a layer of discomfort and anxiety, as the persona might be witnessing self-destructive behavior from their partner.
The chorus adds more complexity to the song. The line "Cumshot queen, build me up, break me off." can be seen as both a reference to the sexual dynamic between the characters and a metaphor for the emotional rollercoaster of their relationship. The last line of the chorus -"As long as we stay uninvolved."- suggests that the persona is aware that they are not in a healthy relationship, but is willing to endure it as long as they can detach themselves from it emotionally.
Overall, Problem! features a mix of explicit and implicit language that conveys the dysfunctional and often toxic nature of the relationship depicted in the song. The music, with its jarring rhythms, intricate guitar work, and frenetic energy, matches the intensity and rawness of the lyrics.
