    With Lost Songs, it's rekindled the raw, unflinching spirit that, a decade ago, placed the group among rock's elite.

    While it may be a shade less inspired than The Tao of the Dead, this is a solid, rugged album that underscores ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead's position as trailblazers and torchbearers when it comes to mixing passion and politics.

    They offset their cosmic silliness with molten rock surges and spacey interludes. [Dec 2012, p.99]

    The directionless nature of the songs leaves them feeling half-formed, perhaps better refined or even left on the cutting room floor than making their way to a full album.
