Listen to the Trail of Dead's So Divided

I still can't decide where I come down on the new ... And You Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead album. Parts are great, parts are good, parts are boring. And the cover of GBV's "Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory"? Just plain unnecessary.

Anyway, now you decide for yourself - the band is streaming the album at their MySpace page. Check it out.

I'm seeing the band tomorrow night here in New York. Strangely, Irving Plaza's website makes it look like The Blood Brothers are actually headlining the show, but that just doesn't seem right. Anybody got any insight? I'd love to avoid the Blood Brothers (as well as Sons and Daughters) if at all possible. Can't really stand either of them.
