Oct 19, 2010Nice piece of work. I don't want to write a review that would mean that I would have to listen to it right now, I do not want to right now, but this is still a 10 love it. Is that enough characters now,

DavidFDec 5, 2007The fact that Neil left the band was a really bad sign, and it shows. Jason barely has any songs either. Who does Conrad think he is? Billy Corgan? All that said, the record is not THAT bad. There are some good songs, but I grew tired after repeated listens.

VictorPSep 27, 2006Despite numerous slanderous reviews that call for the collective heads of all members of the trail of dead, this album actually is quite a good listen and is one that grows on you the more you play it. If you're a fan of the trail of dead, definitely take the time to listen and appreciate Worlds Apart taking it only for what it is, a change of direction.

KyleAMay 30, 2005If Source Tags was an accidental rock epic, Worlds Apart is the purposeful one. Is it the lesser album? For this reason, somewhat. Are the songs just as fantastic? Absolutely. "The Rest Will Follow" and "Let It Dive" can rank with "How Near, How Far" and "Relative Ways" any day.

csMay 26, 2005Not as sorry as others would have you believe, but truly falls 2nd to Source Tags & Codes. I have the distinct impression that this band is disillusioned and sabatoging the more obvious formula for stardom. This is may not be a bad choice. The album is rich, engaging, cohesive and has a message: Intellect above emo.

JohnRApr 6, 2005NME nailed this one- 'Worlds Apart' reads like a suicide note of a band that's tried to intellectualise its place in the canon of Western music and, in doing so, recognised its own irrelevance.' How a band that seemingly understood pure emotion like no other (Source Tags feels so far away) overeach this badly is beyond me. There's a few good areas, but... ugh.

MarkApr 5, 2005Loved ST&C but this is a very disappointing release. Sounds like they tried half-heartedly to grow since ST&C but after 3 years you'd think if they were actually any good they would put something more accomplished than this out.

JayWApr 3, 2005Very nicely done! Combines the trademark jaggedness alongside a strange concept album meets broadway feel. Check it out!

JRossiApr 1, 2005A huge disappointment considering TOD's other albums. Unfocused, half-realized, a black mark on the band.

[Anonymous]Mar 31, 2005Yuck... I'm all for sonic expansion, but these guys should've just stuck to their old formula. If you don't own Source Tags & Codes, buy that. If you do, listen to it again. Don't bother with this MTV-ready mediocrity.

EricMar 28, 2005Feh, a huge sprawling mess, short on great songs, long on useless pomp and pretense. A failure and a disappointment. Watch the included DVD and you'll understand why: This band has fallen in love with itself.

neillmMar 17, 2005Tha album is disappointingly average and deserves 0 for the cover alone. Disgusting

BryanMMar 15, 2005"Worlds Apart" showcases a wonderful sound Trail of Dead has grown into. Every track on the album is magnificent and helps create the amazing album that it truly is. My favorite tracks include "Will You Smile Again?", "Worlds Apart", "The Summer of '91", and "All White".

TommyHFeb 22, 2005Worlds Apart is so much better then any of there other albumbs, Very Good

RyanCFeb 22, 2005A loud collapsing mistake. You have to admire the ambition here, but it is wholly overblown. Source Tags seems far away shamefully. Still they remain a tight and increasingly soulful band, just one without quality control

-
NewFanFeb 19, 2005GREAT. Much different than Source Tags. This album reinstated my confidence that music is still alive - even on a major label.
-
-
AndyKFeb 19, 2005Maybe I had my expectations too high after seeing a lot of these songs live. Maybe its because they sound good bookended by better matieral from Madonna and Source Tags. Either way, the good about equals the bad.

Alternative PressThe least pretentious--and most accessible--thing AYWKUBTTOD have ever released. That's probably because it sounds a lot like your record collection. [Feb 2005, p.92]
-
FilterThis is the best album Trail of Dead has ever made. [#13, p.94]

Simply put, 'Worlds Apart' is a delicately violent piece of art.
