…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead- Madonna – CD
(Merge Records) Picture a daredevil wearing a black crash helmet, sitting calmly in a rickety, dining room armchair. He’s surrounded by piles of dynamite–fuses lit and sparking. The crowd is hushed, rubbing their knuckles on the edges of their seats. There’s a flash and a deafening concussion. The faces in the slack-jawed crowd get hot and clammy. Then the smoke clears. The daredevil sits motionless–a dramatic pause–then he jumps up waving to the roaring crowd! …Trail of Dead is controlling a ferocious explosion. Focused and calculated rage; uncompromising growling guitars balanced on a pulsing, and unrelenting rhythm. They have the earnest rage Black Flag, fermented and filtered through the noisy maelstrom of Sonic Youth.
- Superchunk Steve (2000)
