Fragments of an Untold Story Born by Shunning the Opportunity is the first album by the Philadelphia hardcore band This Day Forward. It was recorded before Vadim Taver joined the band. The album's title derives from a lyric in "If I Wore a Mask".
"Kissing Perfection's Cheek", "If I Wore a Mask" and "Significant Others" were re-recorded for the follow-up album, The Transient Effects of Light on Water.
The album was originally released by Break Even Records. It was re-released by Eulogy Recordings, which the band thought was a good decision at the time but later regretted it because they "all hate that record". The reasoning was, said the guitarist Vadim Taver in an interview with silentstagnation.de, "Because those songs were written 4-5 years ago. The kind of music it is, is not what the band is feeling right now. We're not a mosh-metalcore band anymore. That's what we were in high school. Most of those songs are horribly written."
