The Century of Self is the sixth album by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.
This is the first full-length release from Trail of Dead after their Interscope contract. It is also a departure from their studio production style:
"On the last two albums, we were really meticulous recording to click-tracks and doing overdubs...This time, we threw all that out. We learned the songs and all tracked [them] live."
Album art for The Century of Self was done entirely in blue ballpoint pen by singer Conrad Keely.
Critical reaction:
Critical reception to it so far has been more positive than the band's previous two efforts, So Divided and Worlds Apart. Clashmusic.com, the online arm of Clash magazine, commented:
"The Century of Self is an album with an accomplished sense of completion – a rolling score of disparate tracks segueing into a focused, poignant collective. And for all its scintillating, visceral energy, it’s an album that remains poised and impending, balanced by majestic composition and a patient anticipation for demolishing everything it builds."
The Fly magazine, meanwhile, awarded the record February's Album of the Month, saying that "The Century of Self underlines why they remain one of the world's most vital, daring and ambitious rock bands." Conrad Keely provided an exclusive illustration to go with The Fly's review, as well as an exclusive track-by-track analysis of the album in The Skinny ahead of its release.
