OK, let’s experiment then. Climb into the Delorean with me on this one. February 7 th , 2011.

In the press release for Lost Songs , ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead were thoughtful enough to provide an explanation of the album's lyrics. It's a helpful tool when reviewing a band whose music is known just as much for its blood-fisted aggression as it is for its prog-leaning obtusity, both of which are on full display here.

New Jersey group Titus Andronicus give us the business with their anticipated third album on which they trade concept for execution. Local Business is the closest thing to actually attending one of their live shows and features, according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "a cleaner and slightly more polished sound, generally more compact songs, less ragged singing and more personal and direct lyrics." And in case you're thinking this is a more grown up version of the band, he adds that it "hits just as hard as before, combining stirring folk-influenced melodies and energetic rhythms [...]
