*Top Ten 2012: #9 And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead*This album threw my whole list off. It bumped an album and made me late on writing all this garbage no one gives a shit about. Either way, there is no way I could put out a top ten list without giving this album a fair shake. It probably deserves to be higher on my list, but there is just SO much music here to digest I haven't had time. Doesn't matter. It makes my list. Coming off the heels of *Tao of the Dead*, this album is just more of the new direction they have taken. Tao of the Dead was a tightly packed little gift of an album that sounded like one long song. In fact, breaking it up to use songs for mixes was difficult because there was no way to really choose where to start and stop based on track listings alone. This album has a similar feel, but it is hella long. The failure of *Century of Self*, (preceded Tao) was that the songs were too drawn out. Too long. Too prog-rock, in my opinion. Now they have found the balance. Long album, shorter songs that melt together, but all of it designed to fit together as a cohesive album. The songs here can stand alone, but it is so much better in succession.I fucking hate how little attention seems to be devoted to ALBUMS of music in our modern audiological world. I appreciate when bands make intentional effort to construct flow in their album design. Trail of Dead did it to the extent that they released this album in two formats: one of the main twelve songs of the album, (deluxe addition has four extra songs totaling 16 tracks), and an alternate version with songs segues from one to the other. What? Fuck. They actually wrote songs just to segue between the main songs for people who give a fuck about that kind of thing. That's plain awesome. I don't know, to me this is how it should be done. I listen to entire albums, though. I must be weird. Regardless of that bullshit, this album is straight up rock and roll. It kicks you in the face. However, I was sold on this band years ago when they opened for QOTSA and absolutely killed it. Have yet to see an opening band kill it as hard. The mosh pit was actually much more brutal than for Queens. St. Andrews Hall in 2002. Best concert I have ever seen. #subundare

ugh spare me trail of dead... thought you were smarter to become mired in the phenomena of 'voicing your oh-so-important political opinion'. by the way, this video sucks. go back to isis unveiled.

that's cool man, the only polish band i know is hey. having all your songs about politics wouldn't work but trail of dead does it in moderate doses, like with worlds apart, so it works. also, trail of dead (as you already know) are very progressive minded/forward thinking and the presidential race was basically that vs. old school thinking, so i guess they felt they had to parody romney haha
