great EP - I just wanted to comment on what kyle had to say. he undoubtedly doesn t know what good music is. because nickelback and creed are two of the worst bands around, just corporate radio bull***t. trail of dead are far better musicians than anything that plays on the radio period. from source tags & codes to worlds apart, their sound resembles sonic youth, but over all they got their own style and are one of the great punk indie bands, that nothing that plays on the radio can stand up against. so take your fred durst bull***t and compare it with something else, oh and go get yourself a brain.
I am now blind - Simply put, this is one of the most intelligent bands I have ever heard. The music is so epic in proportion it almost seems like a joke, almost like they had a classical composer orchestrate their songs. Yes, as many people know, this band has some of the worst album covers in the history of music, and they dont even necessarilly fit in with the general sound of the music, but their really good, so we let it slide. It got better with source tags though. So guys, if you read this, whoever designs your previous album covers, kick em to the curb on that subject. Anyways, buy this single, as well as all of their albums.
Gotta have it... - HAHA, ... s review is really funny. Creed and Nickelback...this band sounds nothing like the [stuff] you hear on the radio today...thank god! Fred Durst musical genius? Oh my god shoot me now. Go get this album and while you re at it check out Modest Mouse, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Tortoise, GYBE, Arab Strap...
Eh.. 3.7 stars - Don t get me wrong, Relative Ways and Homage are awesome songs, but the other two songs drag down the quality of this ep.Relative Ways is a great song, but Another Morning Stoner should of been the first single off of the new cd. Homage is one of the most chaotic songs TOD have recorded, starting of violently fast, then slowing down for the chorus.However, the next two songs, Blood Rites, and The Blade Runner, are not good. Blood Rites is a halfway decent song, while The Blade Runner is not a song.So, if you want the first two songs, buy the AMAZING new Source Tags and Codes, but if you re a completist, go for this.
Trail of Dead Continues to Rock Hard - You know, The Trail of Dead is definately a band that s not for idiots, like Kyle. Creed and Nickelback? Come on! That is exactly what this band is against and they show it. Their songs are complex dark and melodic, but still have that indie rock feel. The vocals are smart, and they re not a coorporate tool. Screw Fred Durst. Also, if you ve ever seen this band live, you d be a true believer. They bring the house down and you ll also need to watch out for flying instruments. Kyle can t even spell.
