    Trail of Dead appear to have dropped the noise, and bought out the tunes.

    It's hard to truly love a band that are so chameleonic that they sacrifice signature definition for adventurousness.

    Its artistic detours are even more jarring than those of Worlds Apart. The good news is that its quality is far less erratic. The bad news is the reason why: it's almost uniformly awful.

    This CD is one of the most brilliantly arranged recordings I've heard in a while. Very pretty melodies and deep lyrics. I am not surprised by many of the bad reviews. Most people are idiots. Remember the average IQ in this country is 100. That means that HALF the people must be below 100 to balance out all those ABOVE 100. Most reviews talk about Source Tags and Codes. It was a great album. So was "Aftermath" by The Rolling Stones, but there were a whole bunch a people that hated "Exile on Main Street" when that came out. Like I sadi people are IDIOTS. They want the same shit played over and over and over and over. Everything on the radio sounds the same. Indie rock sounds the same. Same mic placements for recording drums and guitars. Same fucking voices. same fucking clothes on all the rock stars. Like I said, I'm not surprised that people didn't like this album. People actually care what pitchfork tells them. All the bad reviews are from just a bunch of small IQ, sheep that wish they could play in a band as cool as Trail of Dead. I am seeing them in Portland in a few weeks and I will be on the front row.… Expand

    What happened? I didn't agree with a lot of the reviews for Worlds Apart because it is one of my favorites. On So Divided I think the critis are too nice. I have no desire to put the top down & drive fast with this one.… Expand

    A drop off after the great Worlds Apart and Source Codes. Very concept album and lots of wailing. Listen to song samples before buying
