And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - The Century Of Self - CD

The Century Of Self is an epic masterpiece. From the soaring instrumental opener, ´Giants Causeway, to the album's closer, ´Insatiable Two, which starts off with the sounds of a demented circus and ends with an echoing sing-along about Keely's lack of monstrosity, the record is a work of tremendous scope and ambition. While the term ´prog is terribly overused, in this case Trail Of Dead has managed that rare feat - a prog album that isn't academic or painful.
