"After i had learned that Trail of Dead had signed with Interscope, i was very afraid. I mean, Madonna is one of my favorite albums, but on Interscope, i was afraid that the artistic vision of Trail of dead would be tarnished, and tracks featuring Fred Durst would soon follow. How wrong i was. This single is phenomenal, and it sticks true to the Trail of Dead creed, but at the same time is going in a new direction. Trail of dead have learned how to turn down their guitars every once and awhile. Don't get me wrong, i love a Perfect Teenhood-esque guitar riot, but most of their strongest songs are slow movers, or songs that experiment with strings and pianos, which have now become heavy staples in Trail of Dead's new music. Anyway, it's fantastic. If you want refreshing new American music, don't look towards the overhyped rich kids, The Strokes(although they are a pretty damn good band, just not Trail of Dead good). Look to the masters of chaos, The Trail of Dead."

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."
