Data Insight
Eleven tracks, all the band's. Clint Lowery rejoined later the same year, so this closes a four-year stretch in which the writing credit reads the same as it always did with a different guitarist inside it.
Chapter VII: Hope & Sorrow came out on Asylum and 7 Bros. in April 2008, the last album with Sonny Mayo. Mark Tremonti guests on "Hope".
