Trail of Dead, I guess as they are known for short, employs a balanced blend of hard rock and sweet melody on this album. Conrad Keely isn't afraid to scream, but when he tones it down, he doesn't make it sound emo either, nor does the rest of the band. There is definitely an air of psychodelia here judging by the lyrics and the haunting sound bytes at the end of some of the songs. My favorite song is Source Tags & Codes. The riffs are so fluid but they don't flow in a way one would expect which is why they're so catchy. I'm always looking to find a cure for the typical radio-friendly sound and I think I may have found it in this band which I only discovered several weeks ago.
