6/8/09 – The Century of Self

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead is one of those bands that sounds so much bigger than they actually are.  Once you clear through the initial wall of noise that encloses the first few tracks, you’ll find a pretty epic rock record.  I mean, even some of the ballads seem larger than life.  Definitely worth a listen – but make sure you have the time, as almost every track is five minutes or more.
