Upset

Pure, unadulterated metal, this is gargantuan music for the biggest of all stages.

Distorted Sound

In The Court Of The Dragon is as bold and creative as it is fearlessly experimental.

Metal Injection

In The Court Of The Dragon is well-written, well-executed, and a bold new step in the Trivium world.

Metal Hammer

In terms of a band playing contemporary, modern heavy metal, Trivium have been the best for some time. They still are, and In The Court Of The Dragon is a fucking awesome heavy metal album.

The speed with which this record was put together, irrespective of circumstance, points to a laudable, collective drive to keep creating.

More of the same generic, derivative, boring, mediocre, limp and uninspired Metalcore from a generic, derivative, boring, mediocre, limp and uninspired band.

An ambitious project that works pretty well. I didn't expect this album so soon after the previous. The first 4-5 tracks and the two closing tracks are my favorite on the album. I think this has the most interesting bass playing on any Trivium record too.
