The long-awaited Trail Of Dead-a-thon!
16 Sep 2007, 22:23 by nehemiah553
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead have been an interest of mine for nearly 3 years now - I was criminally late to their party, so to speak, but now they're firmly cemented as my favourite band (that's still together, at least).
I've recently (finally) completed my Trail of Dead collection, and in celebration, I am devoting this evening to listening to all of the albums in order. And I will comment on the way. Because I'm quite sad like that.
So, first up...
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
This is only the second time I've listened to this album in full, and I can't help but think it has the feel of a band trying to find their 'sound', for want of a better phrase. While the songs are great, they don't quite have the blistering energy of some of their later albums. Richter Scale Madness is a song that will never be as good on record as it is live, which is a pity. That's not to say it's a bad song though. … -

10. Machine Head
Their new album The Blackening is a strong one. It surely will lead them into the Top20.
9. Metallica
Listened to St. Anger. Hopefully the upcoming albums reach the quality of their older stuff.
6. Tool
10,000 Days is a must have for all those progressive rock/metal lovers out there.
6. Portugal. The Man
Church Mouth really has its strong moments. We'll see you next week, same place, same time. ;)
6. Muff Potter
Mmhh, I only have Von Wegen, some songs are quite well.
5. ...Trail of Dead
Listened to So Divided, and I think Worlds Apart is the better one, but it also has its diamonds like Eight Days Of Hell, Stand in Silence, Witch's Web and Wasted State of Mind.
4. Jack Johnson
Always a moody listen when you just want to relax. :)
3. Amplifier
Amplifier plus Bonus-EP hasn't just diamonds it's a piece of jewelry itself.
2. Jamie Cullum
If you like swing or other kinds of jazz, you might give him try.
1. Anathema
