Lucky Me is the third and final studio album by the American hardcore punk band Killing the Dream. The album was released on November 22, 2010, through Deathwish Inc.

The title of the album is said to be "sarcastic in a sense, but is really genuine in another" by vocalist Elijah Horner, who saw himself as lucky to be where he was in his life during the recording of Lucky Me.

Editorial summary

“Lucky Me (album)” enters the record as album by Killing the Dream. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Lucky, album and Killing can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2010. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Lucky, album and Killing.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Lucky Me (album)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Lucky, album and Killing provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 27, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6697955. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
