The Courts Of Chaos

The Courts Of Chaos may perhaps be the best album the band put out since The Deluge when looking at pure songwriting, but the sheer amount of cheap digital effects (those programmed drums really are unforgivable) means I have no choice but to mark this down a bit. Still, if you thought Manilla Road were getting weird at this point, best to brace yourself for the next one. The band collapsed not long after this.
