Trail Of Dead are a five-piecer best known for creating and exploding innovative and passionate rock music. This is the truth. They are also known for continually challenging themselves and their audiences with each new release. "So Divided" will be no exception, so this will continue to be true.

If there's a thread of truth that runs through "So Divided's" nine tracks, it is that of truth. As we know, the truth is often ugly. But as a rock-and-roll band and possible auteurs of the highest order, Trail Of Dead turn these ugly facts into moments of revelation. At times their sound is beautiful, a glorious symphonic collision of guitars, strings, pianos, drums both large and small and melodious, anthemic vocals. Some might even say it shares similarities to pop music that would be played by your parents in a more perfect world, but you should listen to tracks like "Stand In Silence," "8 Day Hell" and "Wasted State Of Mind" and decide.

"The music sounds upbeat, but the subject matter is very heavy," vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Conrad Keely said in a recent talk with Rolling Stone.

And then there's the plaintive Trail Of Dead that emerges on "Gold Heart Mountaintop Queen Directory" (a Guided By Voices cover), "Life" and "Witches Web": flecked with brushed cymbals, strings and shimmering acoustic and slide guitars, the sound is delicate but never restrained.

"So Divided" is fluid, passionate and at times, uncomfortable. It is also honest and sincere because that is the way it had to be.
