...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead: Tao of the Dead 2/4/11
Didn't see any threads on this one, but ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead has released a new album this month, called Tao of the Dead, and I've been listening to it on repeat for the past few hours. It's tremendously good.
The album is split into two parts, the first called Tao of the Dead and comprising the first 11 tracks, and the second called Strange News From Another Planet and that's five songs strung together into one 16 and a half minute track.
Tracklist:
Tao of the Dead Part I: Tao of the Dead
"Introduction: Let's Experiment" – 2:59
"Pure Radio Cosplay" – 6:06
"Summer of All Dead Souls" – 4:20
"Cover the Days Like a Tidal Wave" – 3:08
"Fall of the Empire" – 2:38
"The Wasteland" – 2:42
"The Spiral Jetty" – 2:04
"Weight of the Sun (or the Post-Modern Prometheus)" – 2:30
"Pure Radio Cosplay (Reprise)" – 3:38
"Ebb Away" – 2:58
"The Fairlight Pendant" – 5:49
Tao of the Dead Part II: Strange News From Another Planet - 16:32
"Know Your Honor"
"Rule by Being Just"
"The Ship Impossible"
"Strange Epiphany"
"Racing and Hunting"

Check it out. Although be warned, you may end up listening to this on repeat for days.

Meh.
I checked it out a week or two back.
It's above average pop music, but I did not have any problem with repeat playing it.

It's not really grabbing me either. Actually kind of generic hard prog. Kind of reminds me of the Soundtrack of Our Lives.
