'''''The Black Swan''''' is the third [[studio album]] by [[United States|American]] [[post-hardcore]] band [[Story of the Year]].
The '''Amvrosiivskyi Raion''' ({{lang-uk|Амвросіївський район}}, [[Romanization of Ukrainian|translit.]]: ''Amvrosiivs'kyi raion''; {{lang-ru|Амвросиевский район}}, [[Romanization of Russian|translit.]]: ''Amvrosievskiy raion'') is a [[raion]] ([[district]]) within the eastern part of [[Donetsk Oblast]] in eastern [[Ukraine]]. Its [[capital city|administrative center]] is [[Amvrosiivka]]. Its population is 55,072 and its area is 1,455 [[Square metre|km²]].
The album was named after [[Nassim Nicholas Taleb]]'s book, ''[[The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable]]'', on unpredictable events and [[randomness]] and was their first album recorded with [[Independent music|indie]] label [[Epitaph Records]], after switching from major label [[Maverick Records]]. Commenting on this switch, lead singer [[Dan Marsala]] said in an interview, "Making this record felt like starting over. We're like a brand new band. You can hear it in these songs, we're excited again. I think we've really stepped it up on this record." Guitarist Ryan Phillips adds, "Epitaph seemed like the perfect place for us at this time in our career. It's a much more creative environment." <ref>[http://www.epitaph.com/artists/artist/251/Story_Of_The_Year#albdesc Story of the Year on Epitaph]</ref>

One theme found in a few of the songs ("[[Wake Up (Story of the Year song)|Wake Up]]", "Terrified", "Pale Blue Dot (Interlude)") is the concept that human existence is insignificant in comparison to the universe as a whole, and that wars, fighting and killing seem pointless. The band believes that people should live their lives to the fullest extent. Other themes include political and social issues. <ref>[http://www.epitaph.com/artists/artist/251/Story_Of_The_Year#albdesc Story of the Year on Epitaph]</ref>

The album debuted on the UK rock charts at number 6 <ref>[http://www.hardrockhouse.com/charts/charts.htm UK Rock Charts<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
and at number 18 on the US [[Billboard 200]] chart, selling about 21,000 copies in its first week.<ref>Katie Hasty, [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003796535 "Mariah Carey Remains Atop Billboard 200"], Billboard.com, April 30, 2008.</ref>
