...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead
 

What do you guys think of 'em? My favorite songs from them have to be "Another Morning Stoner", "How Near, How Far", "Madonna", "Relative Ways", among others. Great band. (Y)

major bump

I love them. I recently got all their albums. Source Tags and codes is my favorite album. Before I heard any of their music I thought they were some pop emo band, because their name sucks, so, I refused to listen them for a long time. But, they kick major ass.

I still think Madonna is their best album. STAC just doesn`t do it for me for some reason.

I love Source Tags and Codes, but for some reason, I'm hesitant to buy anymore of their albums...fear of dissapointment I guess...are they consistently as good as STAC?

STAC is my favorite, but madonna is a -very- close second.

Dead Flag Blues... a Godspeed fan?

i have STAC and Worlds Apart, both of which i really enjoy.. will get round to getting hold of madonna sometime.

Source Tags is the best album, but Worlds Apart really disappointed me. Too much filler.

I only have Madonna, I love it.

I just got World's Apart, I like it! Does anyone have some more uploads? :D

some glad this thread was created. i love them. STAC is great but i prefer madonna. The new albums due very sooon and i cant wait.

I'll up Source Tags and Codes tomorrow.

Thanks!:love:

Heard their new album.

Not terrible but probably their most watered down & commercial sadly.

I thought Madonna was really good, thanks Ethan

Sorry ><

Bump?

This thread was like third from the top of the first page and was only posted in a few hours ago.

Don`t do it again.

so true

Sometimes I hear these guys playing the background and I'm like... how did Nine inch nails get on this playlist... lol I dunno sometimes parts of their songs remind of NiN.... I must be going crazy

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
 

anyone else listen to these guys besides me? their past two albums have been really average, but there is one album that makes up for all of it.

Gentlemen, i present one of the greatest albums of all time.



this album is absolutely beautiful, and contends with Aeroplane as the greatest indie record of all time.

anyone who hasnt heard the album needs to pick it up and listen. heres a preview;

YouTube - how near, how far

discussions?

Madonna is better. =P

They have one of the coolest band names ever, and some of their heavier shit really makes it evident how appropriate it was. I never thought they were Indie though (maybe on an Indie label but not in terms of genre). The closest thing I could compare them with is Faith No More...

ignore this

No, I'm not joking. Madonna is a much, much better album than their self-titled, and a more elaborate record than Source Codes. Have you listened to it yet?

This was the album that made me start liking them, anyways. I can't stand anything after Source Tags though...

ignore this

Madonna > Source Tags and Codes > s/t > everything else

Clear it up a bit?

ignore this im an idiot.

I'm pretty sure they're Indie, nothing else would explain such a horrible and pretentious band name.

Do you realize that he means the album by them titled Madonna, NOT the musical artist?

They're one of those bands I really should have checked out but haven't (apart from a couple of songs).

XD
IM stupid.

WRONG

If anything they have some prog influences in the way that some post punk bands like P.I.L or The Cardiacs did.

So where do you think they belong then?

What I've heard sounds like the usual alternative stuff to me,

Post rock and math rock bands are pretty prog influenced too but I think they belong in the indie/alternative section.

You should give 'em another click. Madonna is absolutely gorgeous. And Urb is right, they carry more prog influences than anything else. I absolutely hate 95-99% of modern alternative music, and I had no trouble latching onto them.

source tags and codes reminds me of a more of like an angry version of loveless.

I would probably say post-punk/prog in my opinion.

Favourite album - Source Tags & Codes

Favourite songs (so far) - Another morning stoner, It was there I saw you.

Great band... I really see a mix of filter + NIN.

Ah, I really love this band. Their first album is surprisingly good once you get into it. Very nice "sophistipunk". Though I like their first three albums pretty equally. Everything after ST&C does nothing for me. The new album is supposedly going back to their roots, so it might be good.

Seeing them tonight. Pretty damn excited.

Might see them again next month. Saw them on the Worlds Apart tour (the album I like least) and I was dead tired that night...the rest of the crowd seemed it too. Also it didn't seem like people wanted to hear the then-new material, and I think the band could tell. :laughing: Anyway just trying to decide whether to see them or another show the same night. The new album was a great return to form so it could be a much better show than the last time. Different city, smaller venue too.

I saw them at a real small venue and stood front and center. They played mostly old stuff and it was great... maybe the best concert I've ever been to.

Well...thanks for the incentive.

Lots of people seem to exclaim that they were disappointed with Worlds Apart.... but I just thought it was sublimely great! I especially loved Let it Dive... a song that still clutches at my heart...
