[3] About the album, The End Records has stated: Rock-against-Rock pioneers Sleepytime Gorilla Museum celebrate the extremes of sonic debilitation, with this muffled cry into the dark night of the soul.

Triumphantly smothered within the intricate stylings of musical evolution, the expansive world of literature and the pain and passion of one’s emotions, the Oakland, California-based band have once again imbedded themselves deep in the creative process, allowing themselves to reach new plateaus on their latest album ‘In Glorious Times.’[4]Drums are performed by Matthias Bossi, replacing Frank Grau.

Prior to the album's release, the track "Helpless Corpses Enactment" was made available for download.

I wanted to use the opportunity to tap the peculiar power of Sleepytime's music - to conjure up images as strange and direct as those in dreams.

"[7]The lyrics for "Helpless Corpses Enactment" are taken from the book Finnegans Wake by James Joyce.
