The Madness of Crowds is the third solo album by English progressive rock artist Troy Donockley. The album was released in 2009. It is the first solo album by Troy to be released after his involvement with Nightwish and as a result features Tuomas Holopainen, reciting the poem "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman in the song "Now, Voyager".
The album was recorded at Warterworld Studios, East Yorkshire, UK and various other locations in early 2009. It was mixed at The Chapel Studios, Lincolnshire by Ewan Davies and mastered by Denis Blackham at Skyemasters.
