It’s cool but only a big screen does it justice. I like Shogun the best. The letters and the colors ...Love all their art covers though for the most part
Great discography, really speaks to its strength when In Waves and WTDMS fall in the middle of my ranking. Plus the new album definitely ranks among their best for me. Love that they continue to put out top notch stuff, they’re probably a top 5 favorite band for me. 10. Silence in the Snow 9. Vengeance Falls 8. Ember to Inferno 7. The Crusade 6. What the Dead Men Say 5. In Waves 4. Ascendancy 3. In the Court of the Dragon 2. The Sin and the Sentence 1. Shogun
Shogun is a masterpiece, still one of the best albums I've ever heard. ITCOTD is also my second favorite, way better than WTDMS which felt like a collection of b-sides from TSATS.
Yeah, his keyboard's/orchestrations brought ITCOTD to the next level. Matt Heafy and Ihsahn are even working on a black metal album together due to release next year.

If they did an entire album inspired by the sound of “shadow of the abbatoir” I would not be upset at all. He got Russell Allen crazy on that one on the outro. Love the intro too. So catchy and the quasi-gothic Transylvanian like vocals that follow is dope. High pitched vocals at the end killed that shit!! Can’t put it above shogun so I agree there. Need more time with it to really tell..! All in all, top tier trivium album. Also, If “Feast of Fire is not paying homage to Sevendust then I must be crazy. Lajon-like vocals all over that song especially chorus and the riffs sound similar to 7DUST as well. Not complaining at all!! Also, I love the Gojira-like feel of the drums and initial riff of the intro to the song “Fall Into Your Hands”. Excited to watch your channel grow brother. Keep the good content coming!!
To this day, as much as i love Ascendancy, I Can't stop making up silly Missheard Lyrics for Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr As for my ranking 10: What the Dead Men Say 9. Silence in the Snow 8. Vengeance Falls 7. In Waves 6. Ember To Inferno 5. The Sin And The Sentence 4. In The Court of the Dragon 3. The Crusade 2. Ascendency 1. Shogun Also BOOOORED! HARLEM!

Trivium are my 9th favourite band for the fact I can go to any album, at any point and enjoy it quite a bit. My ranking isnt a particularly unique one though 1. In waves 2. Shogun 3. Ascendancy 4. In the court of the dragon 5. What the dead men say 6. The crusade 7. Sin and the sentence 8. Vengeance falls 9. Ember to inferno 10. Silence in the snow
Funnily enough mostly all the feedback on the album is positive although there has been some negativity towards the album from youtube reviewers, I think ITCOTD is great, I like the return to longer more complex song structures
So glad you did this Trivium albums review! I only got into them last year with What the Dead Men Day. But I saw them on their metal tour with Lamb of god and Megadeth this year, and they are a great band to see live! I knew Questy would review In the Court of the Dragon...like I said in the comments, how could you not?
My ranking: 10. Vengeance Falls 9. Ember to Inferno 8. Shogun 7. Ascendancy 6. In The Court of The Dragon 5. In Waves 4. The Sin and The Sentence 3. The Crusade 2. What The Dead Men Say 1. Silence in The Snow And SITS has my favorite Trivium song, Dead and Gone.
Great review man and great information on yout thoughts about each album. My ranking looks a bit different but that's exactly what this is all about. No ones wrong and no ones right : ) Trivium is way great on every album no matter what way it sounds. Have a great day.
1. Shogun 2. Ascendancy 3. In the Court of the Dragon 4. What the Dead Men Say 5. The Crusade 6. The Sin and the Sentence 7. Ember to Inferno 8. In Waves 9. Vengeance Falls 10. Silence in the Snow Trivium was my favorite band in high school, I love all their albums, but especially Crusade, it's painful to place it at only number 5. TSATS took a while for me to get into. I'm surprised people tend to prefer TSATS to WTDMS, they're both solid, but Dead Men has more standout tracks. In Waves is a mixed bag, 5 tracks are really strong, but the rest are more mediocre.
Great ranking dude, Trivium is one of my all time favourite bands. 1. Shogun 2. ITCOTD 3. The Crusade 4. Ascendancy 5. TSATS 6. WTDMS 5. Ember to Inferno 6. In Waves 7. SITS 8. Vengeance Falls
New Trivium album was really surprising, a great return to form. 1. Shogun 9/10 2. The Crusade 8/10 3. Ascendancy 8/10 4. In The Court Of The Dragon 8/10 5. In Waves 7/10 6. The Sin and the Sentence 7/10 7. Ember to Inferno 6/10 8. What the Dead Men Say 6/10 9. Vengeance Falls 5/10 10. Silence in the Snow 4/10
Ironic that you did a re ranking for Trivium right after I did. Lol But yeah interesting and respectable ranking for sure. Silence In The Snow has grown on me some but still not one of their best. In The Court of The Dragon is still a great album, and one of their best.
I recently did an updated ranking of their 10 albums as well. We have a different ranking but you have a lot of good takes that I agree with. I fully understand why you’d rank your top 2 as you did, ITCOTD is so damn good. Trivium is one my top 10 bands of all time too. If you have time feel free to let me know your thoughts on mine, although your video is more succinct than mine but I enjoy talking metal with my fellow man \m/
Yeah I think people hate it just because David Draiman produced it and there's a slight input from that, personally I think it's underrated, I would say it lacks abit of consistency, it has great songs but then it has afew good songs that don't quite measure up to the rest of the album
My ranking: 1. Ascendancy 2. Shogun 3. The Crusade 4. Ember to Inferno 5. In the Court of the Dragon 6. The Sin and The Sentence 7. What the Dead Man Say 8. Silence in the Snow 9. In Waves 10. Vengeance Falls

Silence in the Snow With the new album, Trivium is musically at its best. Drum work is on a completely different level than what previous drummers have played. Heafy’s vocals are the most compelling and the whole record is full of great guitar riffs. Paolo's bass work is also really great on this record! Many consider Shogun to be Trivium’s best album and it’s just ok for me, but I can’t catch what Shogun has better than the new album. Someone could tell me their own opinion on this. :)

I would love to share the enthusiasm but I just cant get into In the Court of the Dragon. I like the songs but for some reason I get tired listening to the album the whole way through. I’m hoping with time, my opinion will change
Trivium is one my favorite bands and I don't think they have any bad albums. Even the weakest has enjoyable moments. 10. Silence in the Snow 9. Vengeance Falls 8. In Waves 7. Ember to Inferno 6.

I guess everyone's views are different, personally as a guitarist I just love solo sections so for me Trivium are way up there because Corey and Matts solo's flow so well between each other and are very tasteful
1. Shogun (10/10) 2. In the Court of Dragon (10/10) 3. In Waves (9/10) 4. The Sin and the Sentence (9/10) 5. Ascendancy (9/10) 6. What the Dead Men Say (8/10) 7. Silence in the Snow (8/10) 8. Ember to Inferno (8/10) 9. The Crusade (7/10) 10. Vengeance Falls (6/10)
Great band used to be on my top ten bands. Not anymore but still high up the list. Anyways heres is my list: 10 Silence in the Snow 9 Vengeance Falls Huge gap 8 Ember to Inferno 7 The Crusade 6 ITCOD 5 In waves Smaller gap 4 WTDMS 3 TSATS small gap as well 2 Ascendacy 1 Shogun
I actually like What The Dead Men Say way more than The Sin and The Sentence because it has far more creative and technical riffing. Basically more riffs per songs and less radio rocky songs. Granted Bleed Into Me is not great, but neither are some of the similar songs from Sin.

In Waves is my most favorite album from this band. I mean their sony S Grey So Dark is fucking beautiful man. And highly unferrated. My least favorite is probably Ember To Inferno mainly because I don't listen to it alot except Pillar Of Serpents. That's about it.
ASCENDANCY SHOGUN WHAT THE DEAD MEN SAY IN WAVES THE SIN AND THE SENTENCE IN THE COURT OF THE DRAGON EMBER TO INFERNO VENGEANCE FALLS THE CRUSADE SILENCE IN THE SNOW

WTDMS > ITCOTD Shadow of the Abattoir just makes me want to listen to Ghost of Sparta by Spire of Lazarus, an album that's 10 times better than this whole album. Just being brutally honest, if you like it more power to you.
I am sorry I am a huge trivium fan but shogun is definitely not their best album. Truthfully I don't really care for that album I agree with almost everything else. Shogun really isn't that great of an album...I put every album from vengeance falls and prior ahead of shogun. I only like just a select few songs from shogun and even those ones aren't nearly as good as most tracks from all of the other albums. I know shogun is a well received trivium album that a lot of people tend to like but I'm sorry it's not really for me...
Can we all agree that In the Court of the Dragon at least has the best album art?
I think it's laughable.
It’s cool but only a big screen does it justice. I like
Shogun the best. The letters and the colors ...Love all their art covers though for the most part
Yes
Nah the crusade
It looks like ChatGPT made it.
Great discography, really speaks to its strength when In Waves and WTDMS fall in the middle of my ranking. Plus the new album definitely ranks among their best for me. Love that they continue to put out top notch stuff, they’re probably a top 5 favorite band for me.

Underrated movie ♠️
Shogun is a masterpiece, still one of the best albums I've ever heard. ITCOTD is also my second favorite, way better than WTDMS which felt like a collection of b-sides from TSATS.
@Phantom Deth You need to stop assuming I don't
Dude, I didn’t know Ihsahn had an hand in ITCOTD! That’s awesome! I’m loving that album the more I listen too
Yeah, his keyboard's/orchestrations brought ITCOTD to the next level. Matt Heafy and Ihsahn are even working on a black metal album together due to release next year.

I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite. It’s just to me the one with the least of the problems I find in many of the other albums.
you look like my dad
how the fuck is one of their best albums your least
WTDMS > ITCOTD
Shadow of the Abattoir just makes me want to listen to Ghost of Sparta by Spire of Lazarus, an album that's 10 times better than this whole album. Just being brutally honest, if you like it more power to you.
I don't get much enjoyment out of the first few Trivium albums. That's purely based off of the fact I don't like metalcore.
I am sorry I am a huge trivium fan but shogun is definitely not their best album. Truthfully I don't really care for that album I agree with almost everything else.
