In Glorious Times is the third studio album by avant-rock/metal band Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. The album was released on May 29, 2007.[3]

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.

Song information
