The Always Open Mouth is the third full-length album by the post-hardcore band Fear Before the March of Flames, released in September 2006.

Critical reception

Drowned in Sound called the album "a complex and matured experimental punk record that is both ravishingly beautiful and jaw-droppingly massive in one fouler-than-foul swoop." PopMatters wrote that "although a valiant effort, The Always Open Mouth is, more or less, an amalgam of separate ideas, none of which seem to pan out."
