Source Tags & Codes is the third album by American rock band ...And Yous Volition Know Us past the Trail of Expressionless and the first distributed past a major record label. It was released on February 26, 2002 to wide disquisitional acclaim. The album is often cited equally the ring'southward finest work, though the band continues to deny it to this day, claiming that their best anthology "is the 1 they're currently working on".[1]

Music videos were produced for "Some other Morning Stoner" and "Relative Means", which saw airplay on MTV2.

Recording and production [edit]

After releasing 2 albums on indie record imprints, Trail of Dead signed a multi-release deal with Interscope Records and began recording a follow-up to 1999's Madonna with the aforementioned producer, Mike McCarthy.[2] [three] Their major label budget improved recording quality and allowed intricate orchestral pieces, yielding a sound texture unlike previous records.[4] Source Tags & Codes was recorded in Cotati, California and mixed in Nashville, Tennessee on a upkeep of 150,000 dollars.[1]

Music [edit]

The vocal 'Baudelaire' refers to the French poet, Charles Baudelaire, and 'Days of Being Wild' is named after the Hong Kong film of the aforementioned name. "Later on the Laughter" samples the vocal "Anytime (Yous'll Want Me to Want Y'all)". The vocal "Homage" is a homage to Unwound. On the day "Homage" was recorded, producer Mike McCarthey woke Keely up that forenoon past throwing cold water in his face for him to be aggressive enough to record the drum track.

In the song "It Was There That I Saw Y'all": "Keely had intended to conjure upwards the exhilarant thrill of living in Austin Texas in the mid-nineties, before America had gone to shit. The inspiration came from a girl he used to work with that he had a crush on, and several belatedly nights spent in the company of people on drugs" [one]

The title of "Some other Morning Stoner" refers to getting an erection in the morning time or smoking marijuana. The song is inspired by Keely-s human relationship with his ex-girlfriend who was raised Christian. "Information technology recalls a moral dilemma he underwent when he realized that eventually theology would drive them apart more than annihilation else, considering of his strong negative feelings towards religion."[2]

Source Tags & Codes was met with critical acclaim, receiving a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregate site Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim".[v] The Austin Relate 's Michael Chamy called Source Tags & Codes "an album that absolutely cannot be ignored",[16] while Billboard 's Annie Zaleski stated that "what makes Source Tags & Codes such an amazing album is how the band teeters on the edge of this implosion but always yanks its songs back from collapse at the very terminal second."[17] Noel Murray of The A.5. Club wrote that the band "plays imaginative alt-rock with intense passion, and Source Tags & Codes lets the pressure build exquisitely."[eighteen] Noting its "angular, Sonic Youth-style guitar and earnest anger", Blender 's Michael Leonard credited the album for being "more engaging than many of [the ring'southward] mail-rock peers",[seven] while Uncut similarly wrote that "compared to so many noisemongers, TOD understand that restraint enables unleashed firepower to be exhilarating and awesome."[15] Matt LeMay of Pitchfork awarded Source Tags & Codes a perfect score and wrote that the album "will take you in, rip you to shreds, piece you lot together, lick your wounds clean, and transport you back into the globe with a concurrent sense of loss and hope,"[13] though Conrad Keely considers this rating to be "preposterous", as "information technology is clearly nowhere close to a perfect album".[i]

Hobey Echlin of The Village Voice wrote that Source Tags & Codes "captures the fuzzy-math sound from besides many gray-area indie bands—and information technology rocks difficult where geezers like Mercury Rev just drift away."[3] Mojo described the album as "non a crossover record, merely invigorating."[xix] Amidst average reviews, Q felt that the ring "has reached a point where the demand for convention outweighs the joy of using guitars as weapons."[20] In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau awarded the album a "dud" rating,[21] indicating "a bad record whose details rarely merit farther thought."[22] While noting that "at that place'due south a fantastic EP in here somewhere", Maddy Costa of The Guardian nevertheless felt that the album "is afire with emotion – it roars and pulses and oozes malaise – just it never inspires".[10]
