In Glorious Times is the third studio album by avant-rock/metal band Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. The album was released on May 29, 2007.

Contents

About the album, The End Records has stated:

The albums drums are performed by Matthias Bossi, who replaced previous drummer Frank Grau. As this ended up being the final album released by the band, every Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album has officially featured a different drummer, present in that capacity only for their one record.

Helpless Corpses Enactment

Prior to the album's release, the track "Helpless Corpses Enactment" was made available for download. On May 22, 2007, one week before the album's release, a video for the same song was also released. It was directed by Adam Feinstein.

The lyrics for "Helpless Corpses Enactment" are taken from the experimental novel Finnegans Wake by James Joyce.
